Applications for the Green Gown Awards UK & Ireland 2021 are now open. This annual award series recognises the exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges across the UK and Ireland.
The Enterprise category may be of particular interest to Cranfield alumni who have completed their studies within the last three years. Sponsored by CUBO, the category seeks initiatives from existing students or alumni (up to a maximum of three years from leaving the institution). The category recognises social, social media and sustainable enterprise as key ingredients of contemporary education to ensure a supply of education leavers who can rise to the 21st century's economic, environmental and social challenges.
If you have established a sustainability initiative/enterprise, the Awards are keen to hear from you.
Enterprise skills such as creativity, innovation, resilience, opportunity recognition and self-determination are crucial elements, as are the entrepreneurial skills for new business generation. Judges will, particularly this year, want to see how the pandemic has impacted on initiatives and what opportunities this has brought.
How to apply
Entry to the Awards is free and the deadline for Stage 1 applications is 12pm (BST) on 3 June 2021.
