Students had 10 representatives, and two representatives from the University Council, at the University Congress that took place on Friday, November 18.
At the meeting, the sustainability priorities of the University of Iceland’s strategy 2021-2026, HÍ26, were discussed and the University of Iceland’s first sustainability report was presented. Planning, construction and transportation on the university campus were also discussed and the area’s development plan was reviewed.
The Student Council is pleased with the matters of the meeting, as they are close to the students’ minds and play an important role in the Student Council’s vision for the campus. The U-pass has been an important issue for the Student Council for years, and therefore the plan for its implementation is truly something to celebrate, as are the plans for the construction of bicycle shelters at the university campus.
The Student Council will continue to push for sustainability and planning issues to be addressed with the goal of a more sustainable university community.
