The German Jordanian University (GJU) participated in the events of the Global Biking Initiative – GBI Europe 2025, held in Germany and several European countries, with the involvement of hundreds of cyclists from around the world. The participation comes as part of the university’s support for sustainability, active transportation, and charitable work.
Representing the university in this initiative was Prof. Aiman Al-Sharea, Dean of the School of Applied Technical Sciences (SATS), where the event began in Venice, Italy, passing through Slovenia and Austria, and concluding in Salzburg. The experience spanned over 660 kilometers across seven days.
