All bachelor’s and master’s students of the University of Tartu are invited to apply for the ENLIGHT Inclusion and Sustainability Awards to be presented at the Teaching and Learning Conference in Uppsala on 8–10 October 2025. The awards acknowledge students who have demonstrated dedication to promoting diversity, inclusion, accessibility and sustainability through their projects, initiatives or research.
Nominees must have conducted their projects between January 2024 and May 2025. Additionally, inclusion initiatives will be evaluated on their innovation, community impact, and the inclusion of professionals* and the target group. The sustainability initiatives will be additionally evaluated on long-term viability and environmental impact, innovation, community engagement, and leadership.
To apply, fill the application form of either award and send it to enlight@ut.ee.
The entries selected in the initial university-level selection process are sent to the ENLIGHT selection committee comprising representatives from ten member universities. The committee will choose three winners for both awards who will be invited to showcase their projects as poster presentations at the 5th ENLIGHT Teaching and Learning Conference in Uppsala.
