Dear Colleagues,
On 22 September, European Car-Free Day, we are launching the 2nd edition of the “UG on the Move” challenge – “Cycling Autumn with UG”, organised as part of the Active UG programme using the Move Republic app. The challenge will run until 21 October 2026.
This time, we particularly encourage you to choose active ways of commuting to the University “on wheels” – including cycling, scootering, rollerblading, roller skating or skateboarding. The challenge also introduces something new – Commute Badges, which you can earn for active commuting. At the same time, all your other physical activity still counts – walking, running, workouts and your daily steps.
Compete and win!
We will reward the top 5 women and top 5 men for active commuting, as well as the top woman, top man and top small team (3–10 people) in the overall activity ranking.
During the challenge, there will also be 3 special missions, giving you additional opportunities to earn UG Coins.
How to join?
If you already use Move Republic, simply open the app and join the “Cycling Autumn with UG” challenge. If you do not have an account yet, download the app and register using your UG work email address.
We start on 22 September – join the challenge and kick off the autumn season actively!
we would like to invite you to take part in the Active UG program – a new initiative at the University of Gdańsk promoting physical activity and healthy habits through the use of an app (13 May 2026 – 12 May 2027).
How to join? It’s simple:
– download the Move Republic app (available on Google Play and the App Store, provided to UG employees under the purchased license),
– register using your official UG email address,
– join a selected large team (faculty/unit),
– optionally create or join a small team (3–10 people).
Both individual performance and team results count.
How does it work?
You can track your daily activity directly in the app or automatically through integration with sports watches and popular activity-tracking apps.
For your daily activity, you earn UG Coins (e.g. for achieving goals, consistency, and completing challenges), which can be exchanged for rewards in the UG in-app store.
We’re starting with the first challenge!
As part of the Active UG program, monthly challenges are also planned – we already encourage you to take part in the first one, “UG in Motion!”, where attractive prizes are up for grabs.
Those interested are invited to join an introductory webinar, during which the program rules and app usage will be explained (11 May 2026, 11:00 AM).
If you have any questions or experience technical issues with the app, please contact support via the Help Center in the app or by email: cr-pl@moverepublic.com
Every movement and consistency matter. Let’s take care of our health and positive energy every day!
