KUSCOP Information

KUSCOP is a formation, which aims to create sustainable systems and increase awareness of the community of Koç University. It is formed with collaboration of facilities management department and students. When we first decided to create a sustainability platform, we aimed to create a notion of ecological balance and sustainable campus. The triggering ideas were the tackling the effects of the climate change, pollution and other environmental factors that harm people’s health and lives. As the new generation, we decided to take responsibility and create new projects that will support the sustainable campus and shape the university life in the sense of environmental awareness. Our projects are based on creating a sustainable campus and bringing its applications to university life. This is why we have decided to take actions in the sense of protecting the environment and finding a way of keeping the delicate ecosystem of our planet in balance starting from where we are, our campus. We believe that the most influential changes start from making changes in our lives and living conditions. By taking actions and creating these projects we target the university community and students which are very open to changes and adopt sustainability notions, thus we have the capacity to expand our vision quickly.
