Rise Awards for Schools
This year the University of Suffolk are hosting the International SEEDS conference. SEEDS stands for Sustainable Ecological Engineering Design for Society. As part of the conference we invite people to submit posters for our Research, Innovation, Sustainability and Enterprise (RISE) awards. The RISE awards seek to recognise, celebrate and showcase exemplar case studies from the Built Environment sharing emerging best practice in new and innovative products, technologies, processes, projects and schemes. For the second year, we are engaging younger people in creating solutions for a sustainable future. The RISE Awards for Schools competition encourages school students to make their voices heard about their research and ideas on how to make a more sustainble world, whether tacklign climate change, developing new materials for construction, saving water, reducing our ecological impact or designing new ways to live and work. The RISE awards bring 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 from any aspect to do with the way we can build and live sustainably, and poster entries are FREE.
