This August we're bringing together 200+ students from all the way across the continent for an unforgettable Plant-Based Universities Europe Camp! In the past year our community has grown from strength to strength, now with groups in 10 countries; we've seen wins in the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, and the UK - all pushing us closer to 100% plant-based universities!

Expect workshops and masterclasses on topics like press, social media, mobilisation, negotiation, and outreach - whilst also having the space for yoga, meditation, and connecting with the reason we're all campaigning! We'll also have some incredible external speakers bringing their knowledge and experience!

In the 2025-26 university year we want to supercharge Plant-Based Unis to get 10x bigger and better and the summer camp is where that begins. Completely free to attend, it's the perfect place to meet fellow students from across Europe, learn about how to run the best campaign, and get ready to take Europe by storm when we go back to university in Autumn!

Fill out the sign-up form now to secure your spot at Plant-Based Unis' biggest event to-date!

We want this event to be as accessible as possible and can work to reduce financial or physical barriers to attendance wherever possible!

Things won't be kicking off until Friday Evening (15th), but if you've got a long way to travel we can arrange for early arrival from Thursday 14th too!

(Quick note for non-native English speakers, RSVP is just a fancy way of saying you'll be there!)

Arrival window: August 14th, 4pm - August 15th 4pm

Currently, we are only able to support students in European Universities. We hope to expand beyond that soon but, for now, can only accept sign-ups from Europe.

Please sign up by Wednesday 31st July 2025 to secure your place!

Plant-Based Universities is a network of student campaigns across Europe calling for 100% plant-based university catering in response to the climate crisis. Since 2021 we have seen our campaigns result in 15 universities across the continent beginning to make changes to their menus!

There has never been a better time to join the movement for change in higher education, sign up above and one of the team will be in touch soon to help you get a campaign going at your university or join an existing one!

About Us

Plant-Based Universities began in late 2021 at 3 universities in the UK (King's College London, University College London, and the University of Warwick). The campaign quickly spread to more than 20 universities across the country within a year! In November 2022 the campaign saw its first major success, as students at the University of Stirling voted for their Students' Union to adopt 100% plant-based catering. This was quickly followed in early 2023 by others including Cambridge, Birmingham, and University College London.

In September 2023 our open letter was released; signed by over 850 academics and public figures, it took Plant-Based Universities to new heights - including an appearance on the UK's primetime breakfast TV show "Good Morning Britain". It was also in late 2023 that Plant-Based Universities spread further to countries including Austria and Germany!

Before the end of the year, following incredible work by campaigners, the Student's Council at the University of Graz gave their formal support to the campaign! This caused the campaign and idea of a 100% plant-based food system to explode in Austria, leading to the ÖH-Bundesvertretung (National Students' Union) to support the ask too.

In 2024 we spread further, bringing up a total of 10 different countries with campaigns: UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, The Netherlands, Czechia, and Poland. We also got the support of the UK's National Union of Students!
