Our activities at Bath can contribute positively to sustainability through our world-class research, our teaching and through partnerships. However, we also recognise that there are environmental and social impacts associated with its activities. It's our responsibility as a large organisation to implement ways to reduce these impacts.
In the Sustainability team, we're working with staff and students to understand what a sustainable campus looks like. We know that solutions to reducing our impacts can come from different people in many different roles across the University.
Through alumni donations, the Sustainable Projects Fund provides up to £5,000 each academic year to support students and staff to take action for sustainability in their departments or across the campus. Individual grants can be for any amount up to £1,000, but we're also keen to grant small amounts of money that will make a difference.
Eligibility
All staff and students at the University can apply for the fund.
We'll consider all types of projects, including:
- research projects
- using new equipment
- influencing behaviour
- communications campaigns
- delivering infrastructure
- raising awareness
- increasing staff and student engagement
- sustainability education
