The “Make Irchel More Sustainable!” (MIMS) Grant supports members of the UZH community (students and staff) who want to improve sustainability at the Irchel Campus. It is joint initiative of the Dean and Sustainability Committee of the Faculty of Science to promote active citizenship and social and environmental awareness in our Irchel community. Successful applicants can receive up to 5,000 CHF to implement small-scale sustainability projects. Previous grantees include the Irchel Nature Trail team and the Irchel Student Garden team.

Proposed projects can focus on any aspect of sustainability (environmental, social or economic) and could, for example, suggest improvements to campus infrastructure or practices, scientific or social events, new tools or resources, and more. Be innovative! Important: the projects should be feasible and concrete. We are looking for well-designed projects that can be implemented within about one year, and we support the implementation of these projects with up to CHF 5’000. For more information on applying, please download the document “MIMS Grant Program Description (PDF, 70 KB)”.
