Green team in association with the Sustainability Network
Here at Cranfield University, we are committed to environmental sustainability and are very lucky to have many passionate and driven individuals within our staff and student body.
For Earth Day this year, on 22 April, we will be going live to share our stories and give you the chance to meet some of them. Hear from our student ‘green team’, our Energy and Environment Team and the innovative ‘sustainable’ research projects from our academics. We will be sharing details on our plans for the present and the future.
Join us to learn more about our Sustainable Development Goal’s and how they link with our teaching, research and operations and why sustainability is so important to us at Cranfield.
