ERUA is organizing a Young Forum for Action on Sustainability and Climate Change on May 20th and 21st, 2025 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This event is led by ERUA’s Blue Commission, a student-driven initiative from eight institutions working on sustainability and climate action.

They have launched an Open Call for contributors and participants willing to take part in this in-person event. The Forum aims to foster debate, improve sustainability policies, and draft a Recommendation Paper to be endorsed by interested institutions. This document will be a key step towards introducing new sustainability measures within universities and fostering collective commitments to climate action.

ERUA believe it is essential to involve academics, young researchers, and especially students from other European University Alliances. The call welcomes:

Experienced lecturers willing to contribute their expertise
Students & young researchers interested in preparing a workshop on sustainability and climate change

This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with professionals and students across alliances, exchange knowledge, and contribute to shaping sustainability policies in European universities.
