Second Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program by NTUA within EULiST: “Carbon Footprint Reduction Initiatives in EULiST Universities”

In June 2025, the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) organized its second Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) within the framework of the European University Alliance EULiST “European Universities Linking Society and Technology”. The program, titled “Carbon Footprint Reduction Initiatives in EULiST Universities”, was organized in cooperation with LUT University (LUT), TU Wien (TUW), Brno University of Technology (BUT), Jönköping University (JU), Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT), the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (STU), and the University of L’Aquila (UnivAQ).

The program took place from 4 to 30 June 2025, combining online sessions on 4, 11, and 18 June with a 10-day on-site session in Athens from 21 to 30 June.

The 22 selected Bachelor (3rd year and above) and Master’s students from EULiST partner universities worked with experts in the field of carbon emissions, smart and sustainable energy design, using challenge-based learning, hands-on approach and design thinking, earning 4 ECTS. Participants acquired new skills in carbon emissions management, learned to use new methodologies and tools for monitoring and estimating emissions from a life cycle perspective, and developed a new mindset that will contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The program proved to be a highly valuable experience, offering students practical learning opportunities and fostering knowledge and collaboration, fully aligned with the shared vision of all EULiST partner institutions for sustainability, innovation, and linking society with technology.
