TBS National Student Conference on Sustainable Development

The National Student Conference on Sustainable Development (NSCSD) is the result of the collaboration between two student associations (B3D and PRISM) and the School.

The NSCSD takes place over two days and is mandatory for L3 and M1 students. The first day deals with the environmental pillar of sustainable development, the second with the social pillar. During these days, 4 competitions highlight projects, initiatives and research with impact, 15 conferences inform the public about environmental, social and societal challenges, and finally 30 workshops launch students into action.

What the Judges Thought

The judges liked this student led initiative which has evolved from a one day conference. There was a positive breadth of activities showcasing ecological and social responsibility and some of the elements of this initiative seemed really fun too.
