Transform Your Campus
Finished

Our Challenge

Welcome to the European Green Innovators’ hub! This challenge invites you to choose between pathways to transform your campus! 1) Embark on a transformative journey to revolutionize energy consumption practices within the building infrastructure. Tackle the complexities of both old and new buildings to minimize energy waste and optimize efficiency. 2) Reinvent media centers as hubs of sustainability and environmental consciousness. Reinvent traditional library spaces into eco-friendly, sustainable havens. 3) Dive into the world of culinary sustainability and innovation. Revamp an existing restaurant to align with eco-friendly practices. Rethink the entire operational framework, from sourcing ingredients to waste management, energy consumption, and customer engagement. 4) Or you can create your own pathway! Teams will need to create a comprehensive proposal, outlining their strategies, backed by research, cost-benefit analysis, and potential challenges. Presentations should demonstrate creativity, feasibility, and a clear understanding of the environmental impact and business implications. The challenge with the different pathways culminates in presentations where teams will showcase their plans to a panel of experts, highlighting their vision for a sustainable INSA Campus of the future. Participants will have the opportunity to demonstrate their innovative thinking, problem-solving skills, and commitment to sustainability. Depending on the subject chosen to make the INSA campus more sustainable, the teamchers will help students to choose their challenge provider.
