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 challenges. You can choose to join physically or digitally. At the end of the day, the groups gets 2 minutes to pitch their ideas. A jury chooses the best idea and the winners of Sustainathon 2024 receives a Universal gift card (1000 NOK to each member)!
All participants at Blindern get free lunch, coffee and tea.
Sign up for the Sustainathon (deadline 5th of February)
