Concrete projects for the benefit of all
Last October saw the launch of the Innovation & Society Chair’s 1st call for INNOVATION MAKES SENSE projects, aimed at supporting the ideas and initiatives of the school’s students and employees in favour of Sustainable Development, societal issues and quality of life, based on the following main criteria:
- Contribution to one or more of the Innovation & Society Chair’s themes;
- Collective and participative dimension, impact ;
- Ability of the project leader to lead the project and ensure its sustainability;
- Innovative nature of the project and non-redundant with projects that have already been carried out;
- Reproducibility of the project.
ESEO received 13 proposals for innovative projects in the field of Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility (SD-CSR). Following votes by all students and employees, 6 projects were shortlisted.
The two winning projects are :
ESEO by bike
The aim is to promote cycling among students and employees by putting in place measures to remove obstacles to cycling and increase the number of cycling routes:
- Improve facilities for everyday cyclists.
- For students, introduce a fleet of short- and long-term bicycles.
- For employees, carry out a 6-month trial of the “sustainable travel” bonus for cyclists and offer bicycles as company vehicles.
4th edition of the Race of Dreams to make dreams come true for sick children
The promoters of the project want to hold a Color Run to add a fun element to the race and bring together more runners than in previous years, so as to raise as much money as possible for the “Rêves” association, which makes the dreams of seriously ill children come true. They hope to reach 400 runners this year.
