UCC has climbed to 2nd place in the Universitas Indonesia (UI) GreenMetric World University Rankings

We are delighted to inform you that UCC has climbed to 2nd place in the Universitas Indonesia (UI) GreenMetric World University Rankings announced on Friday 17th January 2014. We have improved on our previous position of 3rd place despite a packed field of 301 global competitors. Details at: http://greenmetric.ui.ac.id/id/page/ranking-2013.

 

The ranking assesses our performance in relation to the following criteria:

  • Setting & Infrastructure
  • Energy & Climate Change
  • Waste Management
  • Water Conservation
  • Transportation
  • Education (research; programmes; and student organisations)

 

This success reflects a campus-wide effort in line with our “Student-Led, Research-Informed, Practice focused” strategy.

 

We would like to thank all staff who contribute on a daily basis to driving this agenda, those who helped collate the information for our submission and the student body for their contribution in achieving this international recognition.  Further information on our green initiatives can be viewed at: http://www.ucc.ie/en/greencampus/.

 

We are delighted with this achievement and we look forward to your continued support in this important agenda.
