The annual oikos Student Entrepreneurship Award recognizes outstanding entrepreneurial student projects in the field of higher education for sustainable development that have had a proven and visible impact. An international award jury assesses the projects.

In 2009, the Award will focus on two areas:

  • Curricula Change: projects that equip tomorrow’s decision-makers with knowledge of sustainable economics and management and action-oriented skills.
  • Sustainable Campus: initiatives that make campus life and work more sustainable.

Winners receive €1000 and the opportunity to participate in the oikos Winter School 2009 (15-21 November): a one week training session on sustainability entrepreneurship at the management school Witten/Herdecke in Germany. At the Winter School, participants will learn about sustainability and student entrepreneur projects, engage with student leaders from across the world, and build a platform to plan and expand future projects.
