How can nine universities in nine European countries come together to form a campus that transcends borders? In Oradea, Romania, the leaders of the EU GREEN university alliance gathered for their annual meeting in the first week of October. 

For the past three years, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg has been part of the EU GREEN Alliance. President Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens Strackeljan and EU GREEN Co-ordinator Dr Anne Herbik explain what has changed since then, what opportunities are opening up, and why a European campus cannot be created overnight.

Health management at a university involves more than just offering sports classes or organising a health day once a semester. Student health management views the university as a living environment and asks: What do students need to feel at home on campus and to stay healthy throughout their studies?
