UNIVERSITY PARTNER OVERVIEW
The Usolec Sustainability Creativity Showcase & Competition is a replicable, student-centered climate action program designed for universities to adopt locally while participating in a shared national framework.
Each participating university hosts its own campus-based competition using standardized rules, judging criteria, and the annual Earth Day theme. This ensures fairness, equity, and meaningful comparison across institutions.
