Why This Guide?
-    Congresses, meetings, conferences and scientific or informative events are an activity with a special impact on the economy, society, the environment and the territory. Therefore, rethinking how we organise them is of great relevance in the construction of fairer and more sustainable management and life models, in coherence with the commitments of the 2030 Agenda.

-     The University, due to its position, proximity to citizens and autonomy, also has excellent conditions to be a laboratory, space and example of new forms of organization.

- This guide aims to support decision-making for people related to the organisation of congresses, meetings and events, offering clear and concrete indications so that they can incorporate sustainability, health and social justice criteria in different aspects of this activities.

- The incorporation of these recommendations has to be interpreted as an opportunity to hold a more pleasant event with more responsibility, coherence, quality and projection. It can also often be cheaper.

- The intention is not to overwhelm organizers with new demands, but to help them incorporate at their own pace the changes that are considered and that are reasonably possible. We must remember that, even if they are few, they will always be a great advance.
