The Healthy and Sustainable Campus (CSS) is a transversal project of the TecnoCampus, promoted in 2016 by the School of Health Sciences (ESCS) of the TecnoCampus Mataró-Maresme (UPF) that aims to promote the health of the university community through the design, development and evaluation of strategies that promote healthy habits within the university community (students and working staff).
