Announcing Unitec’s Environmental Sustainability Fund
After three years’ effort … I’m pleased to report….
Unitec’s Environmental Sustainability Fund is offering a total of $100,000 of funding for projects that support Unitec’s new Environmental Sustainability Strategy. The objective of the fund is to enable students and staff to make practical changes within their study and work environments to help us all become environmentally sustainable.
If you are worried about the state of our environment, or even just the lack of recycling on campus, then this is your chance to make a real difference!
Who Can Apply? If you’re a current Unitec student or staff member, you’re invited to submit your application for funding of between $2,500 and $25,000 before Friday 20th May 2011.We are looking for applications that meet the core principles of Unitec’s Environmental Sustainability Strategy:
* Practical Projects with clear, measurable, achievable outcomes that meet the needs of staff and students. They should have a visible impact on current practices and be of interest to the wider community. We are especially keen to see applications from trans-disciplinary teams with students, corporate and academic staff working together.
* Research Projects that have a clear methodology and measurable outputs. Research projects can be part of a post-graduate qualification or smaller projects to explore sustainability issues.
Winners will be announced at the launch of the Unitec Environmental Sustainability Strategy, 12.30pm on Thursday 2nd June 2011 at Unitec Marae. All Unitec staff and students are welcome to attend.For application forms see the orginal announcement, here:
