What is a Sustainathon?
It’s a practical exercise where you will spend one day working in a group to develop ideas for solving one of the university’s sustainability challenge. At the end of the day, the groups gets 2 minutes to pitch their ideas. A jury chooses the best ideas and one group from each challenge wins the Sustainathon 2024 and a Universal gift card of 500,- NOK each.

The two challenges for this Sustainathon:
Challenge 1:
How can the lawn behind the HF-building become a more biodiverse place as well as a more inviting place for students and staff to hang out. This challenge will be presented by the Estate department's Park section.
Challenge 2:
How can the IFI terrace become a more biodiverse and sustainable place as well as a more inviting place for students and staff to be? We wish for solutions which use technology in new and exciting ways. This challenge will be presented by the Green Counsil at IFI.
