We are pleased to announce that Suranaree University of Technology (SUT), Thailand, is inviting students from ATU-Net member institutions to participate in the Global Project-Based Learning@SUT 2022, or known gPBL@SUT. Resonating with UN Conference on Climate Change, COP26, which is to take action on climate change with one of the goals of securing net zero by mid century, gPBL@SUT 2022 calls for students as well as young people, to come forward and to ideate ways to reach net zero within their own campuses, in a virtual camp themed “Race to Zero Campus”. 

 

The objective of this camp is to address and to tackle net zero issues on campus in a responsible and sustainable way, of which students will come up with ideas and innovation concepts which trigger behavioural changes and on-campus solutions to help curb climate change. International students will team up with SUT students and virtually explore their campuses for net zero challenges, choose an intriguing issue and  propose a conceptual solution or innovation prototype that would help reach net zero on campus.

 

Details of the programme are as follows:
