New post by FJDD for the discussion "Search of Promotors Partners - COP22 -
Sustainable Campus International Competition" via Open Educational
Resources (OER)

The Youth for Sustainable Development Foundation (YSDF) will launch in
January 2016, under the honorary Presidency of the Moroccan Delegate
Minister of Environment, Ms. Hakima El Haite, the 4th edition of the
Sustainable Campus International Competition.
Many studies, conferences and symposiums were conducted on water issues.
Today, a lot of data are available but only few solutions are either
available or promoted yet in order to reduce human pressure on water
resources.
The YSDF and all its partners, want improve the situation by organising a
special edition of its Sustainable Campus International Competition
dedicated to water management.
This special edition targets primarily engineering schools and invites
future engineers to participate in the development of new technologies
aiming to treat, save, reuse or capture water in order to have a more
sustainable and fair water management.
Projects submissions will be opened from January to October 2016 and then
in November 2016, an international experts panel will evaluate the
submitted projects. Finally, in December 2016, an exhibition presenting the
best projects from the various engineering schools will be organized in
parallel with the COP22 organized in Morocco. In addition to young
innovators, companies offering technological solutions will also get a
booth showcasing their products and services.
Moreover, major decision makers will attend this COP22 in Morocco and be
able to discover new water management solutions for their countries and to
meet young innovators, providing a lot of opportunities for all
participants.
Therefore, this letter offers you the great opportunity to become one of
our partners and also provides you the necessary information to promote
this competition across your network. Promotional material and a dedicated
website will be available by the end of this year. The official launch of
the competition will take place in early January 2016.
If you are interested in supporting this competitionor having questions,
please let us know by writing an email to the following address:
