Environmental sustainability practices across UMinho’s activities reflect the institution’s commitment to minimising environmental impacts and promoting the well-being of the academic community.

Priority is therefore given to implementing procedures that improve environmental performance, particularly in relation to the management of waste generated at UMinho.

Indoor air quality on UMinho’s premises is also a key concern, with regular monitoring carried out by accredited external bodies to ensure a healthy environment for all occupants.

As part of its efforts to preserve and enhance its trees, UMinho has been carrying out significant work to conserve and improve its existing green spaces.
