This event is organised by the Caen-based Agir Ensemble alliance, of which the university is a member, with ENSICAEN, EM Normandie, Builders for Society, CROUS, CASDEN, MGEN, Caen-la-Mer and the city of Caen. This group engages in discussions and coordinates projects to make the campuses more sustainable. Thanks to the actions taken by the university and its partners, the Agir Ensemble label has once again been awarded to the members of the Caen alliance for the 2024-2025 academic year.

An event to address mobility issues

The diagnosis conducted as part of the 2024-2029 Mobility plan highlights important traffic flows toward the northern plateau of Caen, where campuses 2, 4, 5 and Horowitz are. This area is frequented not only by the university community but also by students and staff from nearby institutions. During rush hour, traffic congestion builds up, and parking becomes difficult. One of the actions presented in the mobility plan is to organise events with other higher education establishments on the northern plateau, in order for the communities to meet, discuss mobility and create connections (through bike groups, carpooling…). In doing so, the Sustainable mobility week aligns perfectly with the objective to change travel habits with all local actors.
