Take this commuting survey by 6 October 2021 and have an impact on the university’s sustainability work!

22.09.2021 Leave a Comment

Dear student of the University of Eastern Finland,

Last year we calculated the carbon footprint of the university for the first time. However, the impact of commuting between the home and the workplace couldn’t be estimated due to a lack of the necessary data. Therefore, we now invite you to fill out this commuting survey that will help us estimate the climate impacts of student commuting. The results can also be used in improving commuting conditions and sustainability reporting. This survey is only meant for UEF students, a similar survey was carried out for the staff already in the spring.

Completing the survey is voluntary. The responses are anonymous, and they will be treated confidentially. By leaving your contact information at the end of the survey you have a chance to win a small price.

Filling out the survey is easy and will take only a few minutes. You can access the commuting survey here.

Please answer the survey by Wednesday 6 October 2021.
