Biodiversity projects
We want to promote and boost biodiversity on campus. Working with the gardening team and biology experts we are proposing a new map of Blindern campus to boost biodiversity on campus.
Integrating rewilded spaces promotes key species, supports resilient ecosystems, and provides us with inspirational landscapes. Let’s go wild!?
Rooftop garden
Is it possible to scale up sustainable food production on campus? And can we use UiO's unused rooftops to do this?
We explore these themes in partnership with the Blindern Student Garden and the Rooftop Initiative.
Sustainable Food
Our goal is to make the food selection on campus more sustainable with a special emphasis on shifting to plant-based alternatives, eliminate single use waste and plastic and to reduce food waste.
The Free Shop
Stop by the Free Shop at the Green Office to refresh your wardrobe, pick up some school supplies, or find a “new” book for your bookshelf.
We accept well-loved donations in good, working condition and help them find new homes to reduce waste.?
Repair workshop
We host monthly repair workshops that give students and employees the opportunity to repair broken objects like textiles, furniture, and electrical appliances.
By repairing our belongings we reduce waste.
Green Network Gathering
The Green Network Gathering is the monthly meeting place for all green student organizations at UiO.
The Green Office cooks, you show up, and together we create volunteer opportunities for students wanting to engage in green initiatives.
