Each of the six faculties has a Green Team that works on integrating sustainability within the faculty and connecting sustainability initiatives UM-wide. Their mission is to drive a culture of sustainability and awareness, actively promoting positive environmental change, fostering collaboration, and empowering the university community to engage in sustainability-focused initiatives, thereby contributing to the University's sustainability roadmap. The Green Teams are supported by the UM Sustainability Office and UM Green Office.

FASoS Sustainability Platform

The FASoS Sustainability Platform, launched in 2021, brings together staff and students who are interested in advancing sustainability within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Maastricht University. The platform provides a space to share ideas, discuss challenges, and explore how sustainability can be integrated into research, teaching, and everyday practices.

Sustainability at FASoS goes beyond environmental issues and also includes topics such as social justice, wellbeing, responsibility, and intergenerational fairness. Through collaboration and open dialogue, the platform helps connect initiatives within the faculty with wider university efforts like UM2030.

The platform supports a variety of activities, including research discussions, sustainability events, circular clothing initiatives, and projects such as BottleCycle, which aims to improve recycling systems across UM campuses.
