The Construction Award will recognize a campus development project—a single structure or series of new or retrofitted buildings—that showcases outstanding performance in energy efficiency, minimal CO2 emissions, or other environmental impacts and/or other sustainability-relevant aspects.
Excellence in Impact Award
The Impact Award seeks entries of ongoing or completed initiatives that demonstrate how campus development and management can be used to create impact for research, teaching and campus community involvement.
The oikos Student Leadership Award
From students for students, the award is given to outstanding student projects or campaigns that contribute to a sustainable campus and encourage fellow students to start their own initiatives to make a difference.
Awards will be given during the Symposium “Better Campus – Better Cities” at the Shanghai World Expo, China, by an outstanding university leader. The jury will select one awardee from the four categories to Shanghai, expenses covered, to receive their award in person.
