Healthy Campus at the University of Ostrava

We promote health, well-being and quality university life

The University of Ostrava creates an environment in which health care, an active lifestyle, mental well-being, mutual respect and sustainability are a natural part of study and work. Through the Healthy Campus initiative, we combine sport, prevention, mental health support, a safe environment, healthy eating and a responsible approach to the environment.

What is Healthy Campus?

Healthy Campus is an international initiative of FISU (International Federation of University Sport), which helps universities systematically support the health and wellbeing of the entire academic community. The University of Ostrava subscribes to this approach and develops activities aimed at students and employees across all faculties and workplaces.

Our vision
