Eco Week

We invite you to Eco Week at the Silesian University of Technology. The event is carried out as part of the European City of Science Katowice 2024 From August 19 to 25, we will introduce you to issues related to ecology and sustainable development.

Eco or ecological, or what exactly? We will try to answer this question during Eco Week in the City of Science. We will tell you exactly what we breathe and what floats in the water we drink. We will invite you to workshops on creating eco-toys, we will tell you how much you can earn from recycling, and we will also check whether music can be ecological?

It sounds surprising and the whole week will be full of attractive events. There will be trips to nature, meetings with outstanding artists in the Eco Reading Room and a film about the eco-twisted Simona Kossak.

The coordinator of the Eco Week is Dr Hab. Eng. Ewa Brągoszewska, prof. SUT, and the producer: M.Sc. Eng. Ewa Głuszek from the Silesian University of Technology.

The program includes, among others: workshops, meetings and popular science lectures that show the diversity and multi-aspect nature of ecological issues in virtually every discipline of life.

- During these days we will focus on issues related to environmental protection, taking a closer look at recycling and upcycling processes. We will learn what innovative methods allow us to transform waste into modern products, in line with the ideal of a circular economy - announce the organizers.

Eco Week is not only about transmitting knowledge, but also inspiring people to take action for our planet. This is a time when everyone can discover that ecology is not an obligation, but an exciting journey through the world of innovation and opportunities that a sustainable lifestyle brings.
