Sustainability Fair 2026

Join us for a week of activities, conversations and practical ideas at the EHU Sustainability Fair, taking place Monday 16 to Friday 20 November 2026 in the Students’ Union building.

Whether you’re already passionate about sustainability or simply curious about what you can do, the Fair is a chance to explore sustainability in a fun, practical and accessible way.

Across the week, we’ll be bringing together students, staff and external organisations for a range of stalls, activities, workshops and opportunities to get involved, exploring topics including:

• Climate action and Net Zero
• Sustainable food
• Waste and resource use
• Sustainable travel

Drop in, have a chat, take part in an activity and discover ideas that can help you make sustainability part of everyday life.

Everyone is welcome, so come along and see what’s happening!
