Compete with your sustainable ideas
Be creative and apply your skills on three critical sustainability challenges from organizations who want your input to become even more sustainable! Choose between Atlas Copco – Enable the Sustainable City, Skandia Fastigheter – Shape The Circular Office, and the Swedish Energy Agency – The Future of Energy – what will it sound like? Or try all three!
Your efforts will be generously rewarded with prizes of 25,000 SEK (2,500 euros) to the winners for each case. All university students around the globe are welcome to submit their solutions, regardless of field of study or location. The competition period runs through the 10th of October 2016 to the 29th of January 2017.
Enable the Sustainable City
At Atlas Copco, we want to contribute to the sustainable life in an urban world. Your challenge is to explore how our product portfolio can be applied to manage the use of limited resources in a city of your choice!
The future of energy – what will it sound like?
How we use, produce and distribute heat and electricity is changing rapidly, with significant influence on our current and future society. To prepare Sweden for what the future could look like, the Swedish Energy Agency has created four potential scenarios for the Swedish energy system. Now we need your help to build these futures!
Shape the circular office
For us at Skandia Fastigheter, sustainable growth is a responsibility as well as a prerequisite for long-term success. Now we need your help to use a circular way of thinking for our office buildings! How can we make full use of the potential in our resources and challenge ingrained behavior in a smarter way, while creating an attractive working environment?
