#### **A Collaboration Between the Sustainability Office and the ICC Office**

The inaugural Sustainability Awards ceremony was held on 6 March 2025, marking the launch of a new initiative to recognise and celebrate student contributions towards advancing sustainability at NTU.

Jointly introduced by the NTU Sustainability Office and the Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core (ICC) Office through the course **CC0006 Sustainability: Society, Economy & Environment**, the Sustainability Award acknowledges student projects that put forward innovative, feasible, and implementable solutions to real-world sustainability challenges.

The Sustainability Office sponsors cash awards totalling up to S$3,000 each semester to encourage students to examine sustainability issues from social, economic, and environmental perspectives, and to propose impactful and practical solutions.

#### **Problem Statements**

The Sustainability Office identifies numerous problem statements as complimentary topics that students may choose to work on, such as:

- Reducing energy use on campus
- Encouraging more sustainable practices in canteens
- Tracking and measuring water usage\

Students may also select their own topics under Open Categories, exploring any sustainability challenge of their choice.

#### **Evaluation and Implementation**

All submissions are first evaluated by the CC0006 teaching team. Selected projects demonstrating strong feasibility are recommended to the Sustainability Office for test-bedding on campus.

A project database has also been developed to track student work. The Sustainability Office will draw from this database to engage part-time student helpers or full-time interns for ongoing projects.

#### **Award Categories**

The following awards are presented, accompanied by certificates and cash prizes:

- Most Promising – NTU Problem Statement – S$400 (1 award)
