The free distribution of water bottles to freshmen enrolled for the first time at UniGe in the academic year 2025/26 and to first-year doctoral students continues.
This gift is part of the academic community's awareness campaign to reduce the use of single-use plastics, which has included the delivery of water bottles to freshmen and staff every year since the 2020/2021 academic year.
This year, special delivery days have been organized for each degree program at the departments.
For those unable to attend, it will be possible to collect the water bottle by following the specific instructions for each degree program, which are detailed below.
