If you’ve been in the sector a while you will no doubt be aware of the great work that the Green Gown Awards do in promoting sustainability and social good in HE and FE. This year’s awards are seen through the prism of the United Nations’ 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development, and celebrate the work being done in UK HEIs.
After a tough judging session, the applicants have been whittled down to 113 finalists across 15 categories. These projects range from electric pool cars to music albums dedicated to climate change. They include ambitious zero carbon targets, pioneering new ways to create heat sources from waste and the largest Passivhaus building in the UK. The finalists represent nearly 1.5 million students and just under a quarter of a million members of staff.
The winners will be announced at the prestigious Green Gown Awards Ceremony held at The Monastery, Manchester on 15 November. You can book tickets via the link.
