“The Impact Award seeks entries of ongoing or completed initiatives that show excellent achievements from the viewpoint of engaging the various stakeholders of campus sustainability. Winning initiatives will demonstrate how campus development and management can be used to create impact for research, teaching and campus community involvement. The award will be given to initiatives that lead to substantial improvements against the three dimensions of sustainability criteria – Society, Economy, and Environment – through the joint effort of several stakeholders, such as university administration, faculty, students and/or communities from neighbourhoods or business. The award is given to an organizational entity, to be represented by one of its leaders.”
