Better World Showcase 2019

05 Oct 2018

Celebrating how the Faculty of Science and Engineering is Making a Difference

To recognise and help communicate the outstanding Social Responsibility activities across the Faculty of Science and Engineering, we are again launching the annual Better World Showcase. 

The aim of the Showcase is to raise awareness of the inspirational activity that goes on in our Faculty relating to Social Responsibility and to demonstrate the important contribution our staff and students make to social and environmental impact, ‘making a difference’, and to hopefully inspire others to do the same.

We welcome nominations for any person or team who has demonstrated that they have ‘made a difference’ to society or the environment this year.  

The full list of categories and their criteria can be found here: Better World Showcase 2019 - call for nominations, categories and criteria

Eligibility

All staff and students who currently work or study in the Faculty are eligible. Recent alumni (within the last 3 years) can be nominated if their work is related to a social enterprise.

To be eligible, the initiative must have delivered impact since 1 September 2017.

Nominations

To nominate yourself or someone else in any of the categories listed, please complete this online form.  

Please read the information about the categories, criteria and nominations process before completing the online form by following the link above.

If you would also like your project to be put forward for the University's Making a Difference Awards, you can indicate this on the online form and you will need to provide an additional statement to meet the criteria for these awards.

Nominations for the Better World Showcase must be submitted via the online form by Monday 5th November 2018.

Once nominations have closed, a poster will be produced for each initiative. In January these posters will be displayed in buildings on campus to showcase the great work that goes on across the Faculty, and there will be a virtual showcase as well. 

A judging panel will decide on a winner in each category. The winners will be announced at this Better World Showcase celebration event which will take place on Wednesday 6th February in the Great Hall and will be hosted by the Vice-President and Dean of the Faculty Professor Martin Schröder.

If you have any questions about the Better World Showcase, please contact Daniele Atkinson, the Faculty’s Social Responsibility Manager.
