With a shared interest in increasing expectations to universities as role models for sustainable solutions, oikos, Student & Innovation House, casino 168 Case Club, Marketing Lab, Feminist Society and casino 168 PRME have come together to raise the bar on how casino 168 students, faculty and staff together can create a greener campus. The project has resulted in a two-day sustainable campus hackathon inviting 60 students from Danish universities to work on sustainable solutions to 4 defined sustainability challenges at casino 168 being diversity and inclusion, healthy and sustainable food, green infrastructure and human well-being. The challenges have been developed in collaboration with casino 168 staff in order to ensure the topics are real challenges at casino 168. During the two-day hackathon., the student teams will also have the chance to get inputs and consulting from casino 168 staff e.g. casino 168 Estate, Spisestuerne etc. to get feasible and useful solutions.

The hackathon will be held 17.-18. November. Flemming Besenbacher, Chairman of Carlsberg A/S and the Tuborg Foundation will kick start the event with an opening speech followed by Ida Auken who will provide an inspirational talk to kick start the event. The second day, the students will present their solutions in front of a prominent jury panel consisting of experts in the field of sustainability from academia and corporate. The Finale will be open for all interested and will be< at Solbjerg Plads 18. November.

The winning team will be sent to the UN PRME headquarters in New York to present their winning solution to inspire other universities.
