As part of EU GREEN, the kiplin step counting challenge is once again taking place at OVGU this year. The aim is to run as actively as possible through the spring and count steps together with the partners of the EU GREEN Alliance.
The challenge starts on April 28 and runs (in the truest sense of the word) until May 18, 2025.
Volunteers, initiatives, associations and groups from Magdeburg - watch out! You are in demand! Everyone is welcome to organize an event. We are happy to support you!
This year, from 10-17 June, the Eco-Social University Days will be dedicated to social interaction and community spirit in Magdeburg as part of a “Together Festival”. In this form you can introduce yourself and let us know what kind of event your initiative can imagine for the Together Festival.
In addition to our networking and events at OVGU, the sustainability office supervises and coordinates projects outside the university. For example, the KlimaPlanReal project, which brings together universities and colleges in Saxony-Anhalt on the path to climate neutrality, is supported from our office.
