2.9 “Gembloux Campus Durable”, for a Committed and Sustainable Campus Created in 2018, the « Gembloux Campus Durable » (GCD) Faculty Commission is responsible for promoting and coordinating initiatives aimed at making the campus more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. It brings together members of staff and students wishing to become involved in the transition, as well as non-profit organisations and NGOs based on the campus, divided into different working groups. It works with the NGO Eclosio, which specialises in civic education and mobilisation. In 2022, it drew up a charter outlining the campus’s commitment to a series of measures to accelerate its transition. This charter is accompanied by a five-year action plan containing practical and precise objectives. Compliance with the charter and monitoring of the action plan are ensured by a monitoring committee formed from the Sustainable Campus Commission. PROMOTING INCLUSIVENESS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY The Commission helped to organise events encouraging inclusive behaviour, such as a conference raising awareness of the obstacles faced by people with disabilities. The Zherot collective, made up of students and members of staff, which campaigns against all forms of discrimination, organised an anti-harassment fortnight in November 2022 and was particularly active during Pride Month (May 2023), organising an exhibition, an improvisation show, a queer aperitif, a garden pride, the installation of LGBTQIA+ flags and even the removal of signs from toilets for a few days. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN EDUCATION AND RESEARCH The GCD Commission also supports the integration of education for sustainable development into study programmes and encourages students and researchers to get involved in research projects related to this theme. It supports and encourages one-off activities organised by students who have chosen to focus their portfolios on different aspects of sustainable development. The «Gembloux Campus Durable» Faculty Commission plays a key role in promoting sustainable development on the Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech campus by encouraging awareness-raising, education and the implementation of concrete projects to reduce environmental impact and promote a more sustainable and inclusive university community. With this in mind, it has carried out a number of actions in 2022-2023. 24 | ACTIVITY REPORT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AT ULIÈGE | 2022 – 2023
