Registration opens for 2nd annual sustainability competition for universities

 The Institute of Environmental Management and Sustainability (IEMS) Academy, in partnership with the College of Business Administration at Ajman University, today launched the 2nd edition of its annual competition for universities dedicated to sustainability.

The competition aims to encourage innovative solutions by students that have the potential to reshape the sustainability landscape in the country.

Themed "Pathway to Net Zero: Innovating for a Sustainable Future", the competition's registration period runs from 2nd to 30th September.

Running until early November, the competition invites participants to be part of a transformative journey aimed at driving innovations in sustainability and the net-zero transition while spotlighting the wider education sector within Ajman and the UAE.

This year, entry eligibility is extended to university students from the UAE and group registrations are invited. In the case of individual registrations, the student may be added to a group considering similar backgrounds and educational experiences by the competition committee at Ajman University.

Students who register will undergo an experiential journey and training programme on "Net-zero transition" and "Sustainability & Innovation", to gain insights into the viability of net-zero ambitions across business sectors.

Participants will receive training from experts at IEMS Academy, learning about the practical implications and outcomes of their ideas. Student groups will also have the chance to hone in on their ideas through workshops with university faculty and mentors at Ajman University.
