As of 1 July 2020, all WUR parts of Wageningen Campus will be smoke-free. This measure is in keeping with the announced government legislation ruling that all educational facilities must keep their premises smoke free.

WUR supports this measure because it values a healthy learning and working environment. Many young people start smoking when they begin studying. In creating a smoke-free campus, WUR contributes to preventing students from smoking and thus to the smoke-free generation 2040.

Smoking policy from 1 July

Smoking is prohibited on all WUR parts of campus as of 1 July 2020. This includes the testing locations Nergena and Droevendaal. This measure applies to everyone: students, staff, visitors and suppliers, without exception, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year long. All types of smoking wares are prohibited, including e-cigarettes.

The smoke-free zone does not only apply to WUR, many other organisations on campus also have a smoke-free policy, e.g. FrieslandCampina, NIOO-KNAW and Unilever.
