The ENLIGHT Green Network is excited to introduce the Sustainable Travel Policy, a significant step in promoting environmentally conscious travel across ENLIGHT partner universities. Committed to fostering sustainable practices, ENLIGHT encourages its community to adopt sustainable travel habits for both business travel and student mobility.

This initiative promotes responsible travel choices within the ENLIGHT community, aligning with the European Union's dedication to the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By supporting these goals and advancing the green transition, the policy aims to reduce carbon emissions and encourage more environmentally friendly mobility practices across the ENLIGHT community.

ENLIGHT is pleased to announce the next Face of ENLIGHT: Yushi Liu

Yishu Liu, a PhD student at the University of Galway, is pioneering soft robotics for insulin delivery. Originally from Changsha, China, Yishu chose Galway as the first step in her international academic journey. Earlier this year, she participated in the ENLIGHT Bio Design course in Uppsala, Sweden, where she gained valuable experience in medical device development and interdisciplinary teamwork. Outside the lab, Yishu enjoys running, traveling, and drawing inspiration from books like The Wisdom of Life by Arthur Schopenhauer.
