The University of Iceland's sustainability report for 2021 is now accessible, but the report is the first of its kind among Icelandic universities. The report provides valuable insights into the multitude of activities ongoing at the university every day: in research, innovation, teaching, student affairs, and in sharing the results of academic work with the public.
Furthermore, the report highlights numerous opportunities in the field of sustainability, so we can join hands to make our good university even better - and ensure its leading role in this field into the future. Sustainability and sustainable development are central concepts of our times and annual reports are thus an important tool to evaluate and shed light on where the University stands and the importance of sustainability in all university operations. It is important to bear in mind that the methodology behind the report will be further developed in collaboration with university schools and administration for the next publication.
One of the goals with the sustainability report is to evaluate reforms and seek opportunities in sustainability issues within the university. The authors' suggestions for improvements are based on their work and input from University staff.
The report itself and its premises can be found on the University website (in Icelandic).
