Medical University of Lodz joined the international  project of Cooperation Partnerships Erasmus+ with Turkey, Greece, Slovenia an Spain. The aim of ’Awake mind, absolve future’ project is to promote pro-ecology attitudes in students and strategies in education facilities. Medical University of Lodz plays the role of the mentor in terms of  sustainable development and pro-ecology policy implementation  along with its leading EcoUmed programme.

EcoUmed was created in order to deploy the pro-ecology strategy of our University. Being aware of the social responsibility of MUL as the largest medical university in Poland,  we faced the challenge to establish the university model based on sustainable construction management and promotion of pro-ecology behaviours.
