Millennium Fellowship Project: AquaPure
AquaPure is an initiative designed to ensure free, sustainable, and continuous access to purified drinking water within the campus of the Intercontinental University of Business (UIE). By installing water fountains equipped with advanced filtration systems and digital ecological counters, the project aims to reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles, promote more responsible consumption habits, and raise awareness among the university community about the environmental impact of daily choices. AquaPure aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 6, 12, and 13) and aims to position UIE as a leader in sustainability and social innovation within the academic environment.
