MOME and the Healthy Campus Programme

At MOME, we are committed to promoting wellbeing within our university community, encouraging each other and those around us to embrace a healthier lifestyle. MOME has joined the International University Sports Federation (FISU) Healthy Campus Programme, which aims to enhance the wellbeing of students and the wider university community through a holistic approach. This programme goes beyond physical activity and sports, incorporating the maintenance of health (both physical and mental), as well as ecological and social sustainability.

Through the global network of the FISU HC programme, developed with input from thirty international experts, universities can share their knowledge, expertise, best practices, and insights. The programme’s unique digital platform allows universities to track and improve their progress, and the Healthy Campus certification brings international recognition to participating institutions.

The pillars of the FISU Healthy Campus

The Healthy Campus programme is built on seven key pillars and 100 criteria, including

Healthy Campus Management (33 criteria),
Physical Activity and Sport (33 criteria),
Nutrition (8 criteria),
Disease Prevention (7 criteria),
Mental and Social Health (8 criteria),
Risk Behaviour (5 criteria), and
Environment, Sustainability, and Social Responsibility (6 criteria).

Philosophy and objectives

MOME’s goals align closely with the principles of the Healthy Campus guidelines. The programme supports the integration of a healthy lifestyle into university culture and provides various solutions to improve students’ quality of life. Sustainability and health maintenance are also integral elements of our courses and initiatives.

Prevention is at the core of the Healthy Campus programme. Additionally, it encourages the strengthening of social and community bonds, creating networks that enhance the resilience of the university community. Sport serves as a bridge, connecting individuals from diverse backgrounds, academic programmes, and age groups, fostering teamwork and tolerance.

Local projects on campus

In recent years, MOME has launched several sustainability projects and innovative initiatives. These include the MOME HDSE Students’ and Staff Sports Association, the MOME Zero programme to achieve carbon neutrality, the “Tomorrow Belongs to You” scholarship programme, and the holistic redesign of the campus. Through these efforts, MOME contributes to a sustainable future by supporting students from disadvantaged regions and promoting the development of environmentally-friendly transport options.

Health maintenance is also supported through initiatives like the MOME Balance lecture series, Fruit Day, and regular sports events, all designed to connect with the international network. MOME has introduced new eco-friendly transportation alternatives by partnering with GreenGo and MOL Bubi to enable students, faculty, and staff to opt for green transportation.

The future

As part of the Healthy Campus programme, we continue to develop initiatives based on its seven pillars, tailored to the specific needs of the university, whether focused on health maintenance or social or ecological sustainability. Our goal is to inspire students, staff, and wider communities to adopt a healthy lifestyle, participate actively, and volunteer.

Over the next two years of the programme, MOME will focus on continuous development and improvement, with the structure having been developed in the recent months.
