 In October our university joined the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings, which, since 2010, is an important initiative to implement sustainable development in higher education institutions around the world. Currently, 619 universities from all corners of our planet are registered in the global UI GreenMetric rating, among them seven Ukrainian institutions.

According to the requirements of the Initiative, an environmental passport of the Ternopil National Economic University was created. It shows the attitude of our institution to the environment according to six groups of criteria: creation of a favorable eco-landscape environment, energy saving, savings of water resources, waste management, the use of ZeroEmission vehicles , conducting educational activities and research in the field of sustainable development.

Participating in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings enables universities to measure their own sustainable development policies, share experiences and learn about best practices in environmental issues with other universities in the network, and build on future collaboration to make our world better.

 Students of our university are funny, active, and cheerful. Everyone had the opportunity to witness it on October 17 at the university's exhibition hall during the intellectual games called "Student races", organized by the staff of the Department of Humanities and Education. The teams of all faculties competed in a friendly environment, answered questions about student life, the history of celebration of the Ukrainian Student Day, the history of TNEU, photo, video, music questions, and learned a lot of new interesting information.
