Glasgow Goes Green

Glasgow Goes Green is back again this year with a week full of sustainability events at our Glasgow campus from Monday, 3 to Friday, 7 March. The focus of the festival is to explore the diverse ways that sustainability can be integrated across disciplines. From science and technology to food and social sciences, the festival will showcase how every field can contribute to a sustainable future.

The theme for this year is 'Sustainability Synergies - Uniting Disciplines for a Greener Future'.

In addition, the main festival day will take place on Wednesday, 5 March at the University of Glasgow’s Advanced Research Centre (ARC). For further details on the main day events, you can visit the Glasgow Goes Green social media page.
