Vote for the GO Game Changers Awards!

What are the most innovative, daring or eye-catching initiatives related to socio-environmental and/or economic sustainability happening at the AUAS? That's what the GO Game Changers Awards on June 4 are all about!

This event gives students a stage to share about their ecological, social or economic sustainability initiative. It includes graduation assignments, individual or group research projects, or an internship project.

CHECK THE PARTICIPATING PROJECTS

In this way we create a platform where students, experts and visitors can inspire, motivate and activate each other. The GO Game Changers Awards take place twice a year, once every semester. From all applications, the most original ideas, projects or student start-up companies will be selected to join the awards ceremony.

Jury and Public awards

During the award ceremony on June 4, students present their idea, project or initiative to a professional jury, which selects the winner. In addition to the jury award, there is also a public choice award, in which the public can vote for the project that appeals the most. The project with the most votes wins!
