Sustainability Week events at Aberystwyth
Wales Sustainability Week events programme at Aberystwyth University.

Exhibitions of research and teaching in the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) and the Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences (IGES).
TaMed Da – award winning campus restaurant will feature a special lunch-time menu of locally sourced and some University produced foods.
Tuesday 1.00pm
Eco-walk on campus – Can’t tell your pines from your petunias?
Then a guided walking tour of campus noting some of the celebrated flora and fauna might be just the thing. Pop along to the Sports Centre at 1.00pm and discover the blossoms and birdsongs on the new campus walking trails. It’s certainly better than sitting watching the AstroTurf grow.
