Draw your vision of our sustainable future!
All Unite! Bachelor, master and Ph.D. students are invited to join this exciting Unite! Seed Funded poster competition: selected posters will be awarded and shown online
Given the sustainable development arising issue worldwide, achieving the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has now become a crucial mission. We can consider this as something closely related to everyone's living quality, also involving the energy field.
Bearing this in mind, the Unite! Seed Fund Poster Contest on Architectural Energy for Sustainable Development aims to get advanced ideas from bachelor, master and PhD students to draw new visions on the future of sustainable development.
Students are then invited, alone or in teams, to design poster proposals on several topics: architectural design with energy focus, green buildings and health, low carbon demonstration projects, sustainable building design, advanced methods for architectural energy. Any additional ideas related to these fields will be more than welcome. A nourished jury of international renowned professors, spacing from Europe to China, will evaluate the posters, which will be awarded next December.
“The purpose of the Unite! Poster Contest is not to compete but to achieve an open, inclusive and free exchange of cutting-edge knowledge under the same goals (SDGs), to deeply integrate our views on how building energy can achieve sustainable development in different ways. Through this event, I hope we can strengthen academic exchanges among universities, expand scholars' horizons, and build a sustainable future!”.
