Biodiversity

Radboud University and Radboudumc are committed to a healthy environment. Our joint policy aims to create the right conditions for improving biodiversity across the entire campus.

Our objectives

In addition to improving the conditions for biodiversity, the objectives of our policy are:

  • Take measures to strengthen climate adaptation and mitigation.
  • Take biodiversity into account during construction projects (nature-inclusive construction).
  • Improve the interaction between people and nature.

What can you do to help? The world needs you!

Activities are organised on campus throughout the year to promote flora, fauna and biodiversity – such as butterfly and bee counts, talks, tours and the annual Biodiversity Day. You are welcome to take part! Keep an eye on the website.

Visit the Community Garden

The Community Garden is a communal vegetable garden set up specifically for and by Radboud University staff and students. It is a place of rest where you can relax, but also an active place where you can root in the earth with your hands. This garden is more than just a vegetable garden. It is a place where you can get to know other people and where you can get out of your head completely to enjoy nature.
