To recognise and communicate the outstanding social responsibility activities across the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE), we will once again be holding the ‘Better World Showcase’. The aim of the Showcase is to raise awareness of the important contribution that the Faculty makes to social and environmental impact, to highlight the efforts of staff and students who are ‘making a difference’, and to hopefully inspire others to do the same.

Nominations for the Better World Showcase are now open. All staff and students who currently work or study in FSE are eligible to be nominated, as are recent alumni (within the last 3 years) if their work is related to a social enterprise. The categories and criteria are largely the same as the University’s Making a Difference (MaD) Awards so that we can use our Faculty’s Showcase as a pipeline to make applications for the University MaD Awards.

To nominate yourself or someone else, please complete this online form. This form will ask for the details of the nominee(s), up to 200 words about the project or initiative and up to 100 words on how the nominee(s) has ‘made a difference’. Nominations must be submitted via the online form by Tuesday 31 October 2017. If you have any questions, please email Fran Guratsky, the Faculty’s Social Responsibility Project Manager.

The winner in each category will be announced at the Better World Showcase ceremony which will take place on Monday 12 February 2018.
