Smarter Travel Student Awards semester one application 2024

Published: 16 Sep, 2024

In recent years TU Dublin has enjoyed great success at the Smarter Travel Student Awards, and we are encouraging more classes and groups to consider developing a project and making an application to compete in the national competition. The programme and showcase awards is a great way to link sustainability to academic modules.

The Smarter Travel Student Awards programme invites students (both undergraduate and postgraduate students) to develop a project that supports, facilitates, and/or enables sustainable and/or active travel modes to, from, and on campus that is relevant to their field of study and interest.

All students who enter have their project reviewed and judged by a judging panel who are experts in their industry and finalists are invited to attend the National Student Awards Ceremony.
