Masaryk University in accordance with its Strategic Plan for 2021-2028 created Sustainable Development Strategy ! In 2025, its individual faculties and institutes will follow.
MU ranks among the world’s top 100 universities and first in the Czech Republic in terms of sustainability according to the UI GreenMetric ranking.
The latest edition of the international university ranking in the field of sustainable development ranks MU 97th out of a total of 2,016 evaluated universities. MU’s further year-over-year improvement in the ranking and its prestigious placement in the TOP 100 were secured primarily by indicators in the areas of education and research, institutional governance, digitalization, and support for sustainable transportation.
In line with its values, Masaryk University decided to participate again in the so-called European Week for Sustainable Development (ESDW) together with other public universities associated with the UNILEAD project.
It maps sustainable initiatives, services, and locations at Masaryk University and throughout Brno. On the interactive map, users can easily find, for example, waste sorting stations, sustainable dining options, themed events, or pleasant places to relax.
The project, which received support from the community fund, will thus make it easier for MUNI students and staff to make sustainable decisions in their daily lives. In addition, users themselves will be able to contribute to expanding and updating the map.
Masaryk University´s Sustainability Reports present the status of selected indicators. Using illustrative infographics, the report describes MUNI's efforts to implement long-term sustainable operations.

“At Masaryk University we perceive environmental protection and sustainable development as a clear priority. A number of our excellent institutes have been working on these topics for a long time, whether it is research on the impact of toxic substances on humans and nature or education for ecological enterpreneurship. The principles of sustainability and environmental friendliness are also applied in the daily operation of the dozens of buildings in which the university is housed throughout the Moravian metropolis.”
