What?

The European University for Well-Being – EUniWell – is a response to the Council of the European Union’s invitation for member states to pursue a horizontal, cross-sectoral, knowledgebased approach to advance the ‘Economy of Wellbeing’. EUniWell partner universities collaborate across campuses and borders to understand, improve, measure, and rebalance well-being and interact closely with society to enhance global and regional well-being in social, environmental, economic, and cultural terms.

This event will introduce EUniWell and share three local examples that illustrate innovative solutions for sustainability and well-being:

• University of Florence:
  Well-being and urban spaces: strategies and planning scenarios for a healthy city.
  Speaker: Saverio Mecca, architect and full professor at the University of Florence.
• Nantes Université: 
  Creating user-friendly oasis of freshness in urban environments, made with raw earth and XXL 3d-printing, using robotics, architecture and design (supported by West Creative Industries interdisciplinary programme).
  Speaker: Ignacio Requena-Ruiz, lecturer and researcher.
• Linnaeus University: 
  Holding Surplus House. The aim of this project is to explore built environment through giving form to a household that takes what is at hand – and strives to share a surplus. 
  Speaker: Åsa Ståhl, senior lecturer, department of design.

Afterwards a panel with the project presenters elaborated on how EUniWell contributes towards global sustainable well-being.
