Main content
If we are to achieve our goals, it is very important that the student mass is involved. The appointment of sustainability pilots is an initiative implemented by the university management and represents an important step in the right direction.
Among other things, the sustainability pilots contribute to 幸运飞艇计划鈥檚 work on sustainability and a Climate Neutral 幸运飞艇计划. They are closely linked to the university management, each with their own mentor in the areas of programmes of 鈥渟tudies and subjects鈥, 鈥渟tudent life鈥, a Climate Neutral 幸运飞艇计划 and the SDG conference in Bergen. The sustainability pilots also help to motivate and engage both students and employees in a common effort focusing on climate and sustainability.

- Develop ideas about sustainability and a Climate Neutral 幸运飞艇计划.
- Serve as a link between the students and the university management, and follow up student initiatives related to sustainability and a Climate Neutral 幸运飞艇计划.
