The Foundation for Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design has set out to become the first net carbon neutral higher education institution in Hungary by 2030.

MOME Zero also includes active involvement in off-campus climate protection projects, the launch of research & development projects supporting sustainable operations, and related tender activities.

From 2022, MOME will organise all its activities in alignment with the principles of sustainability in an effort to achieve complete net carbon neutrality by 2030. The green transition will affect every area of the university’s operations from improving the efficiency of energy consumption and waste reduction to introducing paperless administrative processes.

Fenntarthatósági Iroda

Az iroda kiemelt feladata a klímavédelmi célok megvalósítása mellett a campus hulladékcsökkentésének, zöld mobilitásának, energiahatékonyságának, valamint a park klímaadaptációjának a megvalósítása és biodiverzitásának növelése. Az iroda vezető szerepet vállal a hallgatók és munkatársak ökológiai tudatosságának és cselekvőképességének a fejlesztésében, új képzési modulok és a bevonódást segítő akcióprogramok bevezetésével.

MOME’s first ever community composting station is taking shape

The MOME ZERO sustainability programme has reached another important milestone. Designed in collaboration with students, the new composting station will support more sustainable waste management practices on campus from the autumn term. Closely tied to the new community garden also opening later this year, the composting station is more than just a facility – it’s a shared learning environment where students, teachers, and staff have worked together to rethink how green waste is used and reused.

A new MOME Forest in the making: 30,000 trees and growing

The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) continues its forest-planting initiative, with MOME students and staff planting a new forest in the Vízvár area in collaboration with experts from the Danube-Drava National Park on 14 to 16 November. The action will be preceded by professional events at MOME’s Budapest Campus, starting on 12 November with a lecture by biomimicry researcher Yael Helfman-Cohen from Tel Aviv, followed by biologist and Head of WWF Hungary’s Forest Programme Dr. László Gálhidy on 13 November.

The number of saplings growing in the MOME Forest has just grown to 40,000

Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) has successfully completed the first stage of its nation-wide forest planting initiative, with the first MOME Forest growing near Garabonc. The saplings planted by the students in autumn 2023 are putting out their first leaves, and were joined by the rest planted by the MOME community.

MOME students planted forests over 5 hectares in just one day

This November, as part of a three-day event, MOME students, teachers, and employees together planted a total of 20,000 saplings – the first MOME forest – in Garabonc in Zala county with help from forest engineers and environmental protection professionals of the Balaton Uplands National Park. Braving strong wind and rain, the University community was working over an area of 5 hectares (equivalent to 10 football pitches), planting 20,000 trees in record time.

MOME is planting forests throughout the country

Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) is launching a unique, nation-wide afforestation action. Joining forces with three national parks – the Balaton Uplands National Park, the Danube-Drava National Park and the Duna-Ipoly National Park – it will develop new forests in three locations across Hungary over nearly 50 hectares. When grown, these will help neutralise the university’s harmful emissions. The action will also be incorporated into the training, and staff and students are welcome to get involved.

READING CABIN in Csingervölgy

A marriage of art and nature, the reading cabin built according to a design by MOME’s architecture students can also be used as a bivouac shelter.

The Power of Trees - IC Brunch & Knowledge with Dr. Nadina Galle

Brunch & Knowledge is a monthly event series organised by the Innovation Center of MOME, and gives insight into a vast array of topics, ranging from volunteering and charity to change management. The last online session featured a presentation by ecological engineer Dr. Nadina Galle, who coined the term “Internet of Nature”, a framework of technological solutions to build better cities for both people and nature.

MOME is set to become Hungary’s first carbon neutral university

It is the ambition of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design to become the first net carbon neutral higher education institution in Hungary by 2030. The green transition is actively supported by the Ministry for Innovation and Technology in the form of a strategic agreement signed by the parties.
