In accordance with the strategic materials of Charles University for sustainable development, expert working groups (WG) were established for key areas of Administration and Operations. For the purpose of work efficiency and overlapping of sustainability topics, some key areas of Administration and Operations were merged into one WG (Energy and Construction, Waste and Food services). Thanks to the system of SD Coordinators and their partial involvement, the different WGs share the necessary information, thus ensuring transparency and efficiency in achieving common goals.

The WGs operate in a "Guarantor - Co-facilitator - Member" system, which proved its worth in the University Leaders in SDGs projects (UNILEAD I and II), which brought together 25 Czech public universities and operated from 2022-2023.

The Energy and Construction WG is primarily concerned with mapping the current state of state at the CU and the opportunities for transformation towards sustainable construction and operation of university buildings.

The members of the Energy and Construction WG are:

• Coordinator: Ing. Jiří Brandtlík (Department of Construction, Rectorate of CU)

• Co-creators: Ing. Pavel Bartoň (Faculy of Medicine in Hradec Králové); Ing. Pavel Bartoň (Faculty of Medicine on Pilsen); Ing. Milan Skrbek (Faculty od Physical Education and Sport); Ing. Milan Ščasný, Ph.D. (CU Environment Centre)

• Members: Mgr., Ing. Nikola Rusová (CU Point, Rectorate of CU); Eva Šulcová (Dormitories and Refectories); Ing. Ladislav Bůcha (Department of Construction, Rectorate of CU); Ing. Jan Javůrek (Premises and Facilities Administration, Rectorate of CU); Pavel Michálek (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics); Ing. Pavel Schinkmann (First Faculty of Medicine); doc. MUDr. Jan Trnka, Ph.D. (Third Faculty of Medicine)

The WGs, which aim to better coordinate activities at individual faculties and units of the CU, exchange experiences and try to move the CU as a whole towards more sustainable functioning based on specific objectives and activities, are supported by NPO 7.4 Green Skills and Sustainability Support at Universities ("Green Skills at the CU").
