The 1st meeting of the Jury of SuvelaSURGE International Student Competition

The 1st meeting of the Jury of SuvelaSURGE International Student Competition took place in Helsinki on 22nd June 2011 and the finalists were decided. The Jury was very excited about the high quality of the proposals submitted!

Thanks to the teams for their participation and for the hard work! It has been very rewarding to see the implication of young generations in these important issues. There were interesting ideas to be found in each proposal. These are very inspiring for the City of Espoo when envisioning the future of Suvela.

All the proposals will be displayed during the SB11 Helsinki World Sustainable Building Conference that will take place from 18th to 21st of October 2011 in Helsinki, Finland. In addition, an International Student Competition Special Session will be organized as part of the official programme of the conference to present the proposals submitted and discuss other related issues.

Congratulations to the finalists and good luck for the next round!
