Masaryk University in accordance with its Strategic Plan for 2021-2028 created Sustainable Development Strategy ! In 2025, its individual faculties and institutes will follow.
The MUNI HELPS Volunteer Centre is looking for volunteers. Simply log in with your MUNI account and complete a profile on the MUNI HELPS mobile or web app.
Anyone, whether a student, graduate or employee of Masaryk University, automatically becomes part of the university’s volunteer database after completing their profile in the application. Masaryk University and its MUNI HELPS Volunteer Centre are in contact with the crisis management unit of the South Moravian Region and the affected districts of Brno-South and Brno-Centre, which can ask for help if necessary.
In the context of European Mobility Week, which runs from 16-22 September (and partly overlaps with ESDW), as well as the forthcoming Mobility Code as part of MU's sustainability strategy, MU is organising a survey among students and staff to find out their commuting habits or the distance they have to travel to study and work. The questionnaire can be found in the MU Information System - IS (link to it below). The anonymised data on student and employee commuting will be one of the inputs that Masaryk University will use to calculate its carbon footprint and take into account when adapting the infrastructure to support clean mobility, including negotiating a joint approach with relevant partners.
The #MUNISAVES campaign, which aimed to make Masaryk University optimise its energy consumption and achieve more efficient operations, and the energy saving measures introduced during the academic year have had positive results!

“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.”
