About the Competition
Do you have great ideas for ways to improve our campus to be smarter AND more sustainable? Have you identified areas where new technologies or innovative approaches can improve our campus?
If so, check out these two SSC Student Competitions:
Campus Project Competition
Form a group to propose an on-campus project that will improve our campus conditions and make us smarter AND more sustainable. The top five successful group proposals will have an opportunity to implement their project on campus during the 2023/24 academic year with budget and support, subject to the feasibility of project implementation.
Prizes
Most innovative solution awards (top 5 individuals or teams)
-$2000 cash prize
Campus project awards (top 5 teams)
- Opportunity to implement their project on campus during the 2023/24 academic year with support and budget.
*In addition, we will provide mentoring on project management, support and guidance for project implementation on campus. To learn more about the SSC projects, please visit https://ssc.hkust.edu.hk/projects
We believe that every student should be given the chance to contribute towards making the campus a green, innovative and energizing place. Be our partners. Your ideas matter.

Submission Process
Submit a paper of up to four pages in length (all-inclusive of photos, graphics, and text descriptions) describing your idea. All submissions will first be reviewed by a judging panel who will select a short list of finalists. Shortlisted teams / individuals will be asked to create a short (3 minutes, max) video and an electronic poster for public voting. A Pitch day will be organized during the voting period for teams to present the videos and judges to ask questions. Voting results from UST members and SSC committee members will be consolidated to determine the winners.
