Therefore ENLIGHT launched a global call for the presentation of such projects. These projects were presented in online sessions to a jury of students from the ENLIGHT Student Network and from ENLIGHT university Green Offices.

The award ceremony was held on October 12 in conjunction with the ENLIGHT Teaching & Learning Award during the ENLIGHT Teaching & Learning Conference in Bordeaux.
