Living Lab
Are you a student looking to have a sustainable impact with your own research? You can do so at the Living Lab, a learning environment in which you can link your own research to sustainability issues being explored by lecturers and staff members of Radboud University and the Radboudumc. The format is adjusted to match the study phase you are in, such as an internship, short- and long-term assignments, course assignments, or Bachelor's and Master's theses. For example, the Living Lab is currently working on commuting, sustainable procurement, reducing harmful substances in laboratories, or – also in the medical sector – making healthcare processes more sustainable.

A community launched in late 2023 that organises monthly drinks for Nijmegen students who are passionate about sustainability. The idea is to get together to share sustainable ideas and ambitions, allowing you to decide for yourself how active you want to become. Via the WhatsApp group, you can stay in touch with the community and get tips on interesting articles, events, documentaries, and more. One of the plans, starting from 2024, is to regularly screen films on sustainability.
