Leeds Beckett University, The University of Suffolk, The University of the West of England, Bristol and Loughborough University are delighted to present the 2025 RISE Awards, hosted this year by Loughborough University.

These highly regarded awards seek to recognise, celebrate and showcase exemplar case studies from the Built Environment sharing emerging best practice in Research, Innovation, Sustainability and Enterprise for new and innovative products, technologies, processes, projects and schemes. Celebrating diversity and the unique skills, knowledge and perspectives that different groups bring to the field is at the heart of the RISE awards; bringing together academic, industry, third sector and community groups in a unique celebration of all those who are helping to change the way we build and live in the future.

Submissions are encouraged across 12 different categories, and poster entries are FREE. Previous winners have come from an array of environmental specialisms, across various companies and professions, from diverse backgrounds – what matters to us is that entrants display the passion and dedication to do things better, pushing industry forward and driving up standards.

The closing date for entries is Monday 09th June with the winners being notified in the week commencing Monday 30th June. Awards will be presented at the prestigious gala presentation evening on Thursday 04th September 2025 at Holywell Park on Loughborough University campus.

The RISE Awards are an opportunity for you to showcase your initiatives with your peers and bring your expertise to a new audience. The awards dinner provides an opportunity to develop future industry, academic and third sector collaborations.
