For the fourth year, a second-hand mobile phone collection campaign named "Pass it back, Bro!" was launched by the Jane Goodall Institute and joined by the UP in the framework of the Baranya Virtual Power Plant Program (BAVEP partners: University of Pécs, Hungarian Innovation and Efficiency Nonprofit Ltd., Municipality of Pécs County, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Pécs-Baranya, Baranya County Municipality, Diocese of Pécs, Klára Leőwey High School of Pécs).
MOON BIKE 2021
From 15 May, the University of Pécs will once again launch its international cycling challenge to promote a healthy lifestyle.
The challenge of "MOON BIKE" is to ride a bicycle together to the moon, i.e. to reach a total of 384,400 km anywhere in the world.
This year as well we would like to celebrate Earth Day with the citizens of the UP in accordance with our tradition but in an unusual way. However, the world has come to the point where Earth Day is not only a day to celebrate, but also a day to do something to protect the air, water, plants, birds, and animals.
Earth Day has now become the largest self-organized environmental movement in Hungary.
It is an action-oriented holiday that is about the future of all of us.
The existence and quality of life of future generations depends largely on our ability to transform our thinking about the world, our environment and our lives. Are we willing not to exploit our natural resources by changing our habits, but to protect our environment, protect biodiversity, i.e. live in a sustainable way? The University of Pécs is at the forefront of this mission in Hungary and thanks to its work with its partners Pécs won the title of greenest city in Hungary in 2020!
