SUMMARY:Innovation Sprint Course on Designing a More Sustainable Future: Innovation Sprint (SDG 12)
DESCRIPTION:Designing a More Sustainable Future is a three-day\, credit-bearing Innovation Sprint that engages undergraduate students from across faculties in designing prevention-oriented\, regenerative solutions to sustainability challenges. \n\n\n\nFocused on SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production\, the Sprint invites students to explore how products and services can be designed from the outset to prevent waste and pollution\, while creating long-term environmental\, social\, and economic value.
