Sustainability in Mid Sweden University everyday life – HIMUV

With this project, we want to increase knowledge of sustainable development among all university employees and thereby give them the opportunity to contribute to Mid Sweden University becoming an important player in the work for more sustainable development.

Mid Sweden University’s strategy 2019-2023 emphasises the importance of sustainable development and it is clarified that it is an area that the University wants to strengthen. Education and research will be oriented towards building a sustainable society and the University should actively and visibly contribute to the UN’s global goals.

In addition, the sustainability culture among the university’s staff and students will be strengthened. But in order to be able to work sustainably, you need to know what it means. Only when all staff know how the University defines sustainability can it become a natural part of everyday work and contribute to sustainable development. To achieve this, we in project HIMUV want to map the knowledge about and the possibility of sustainability work among the university’s different professional categories. This is in order to be able to design training material for employees and suggest procedures for its use.

Allocated funds: 1920 Tkr
