An inspiring experience warmly recommended to all scientists working with environment- Frontiers Planet Prize!
It's a friendly competition to propose solutions to help the planet
remain within the safe operating space of any one or more of the nine
planetary boundaries. This year, 475 leading universities participated
globally to compete for three prizes of 1M Swiss francs each as
adjudicated by a Jury of 100 leading sustainability scientists.
Few weeks ago Priit from AgriChar research group was privileged to join the seminar hosted by The Villars Institute in Swiss Alps and co-represent our winning study on sustainable lake restoration and sediment nutrient recycling (https://lnkd.in/dgdk-6wK) led by Olga Tammeorg!
The thought-provoking presentations by all national champions, supportive and inclusive atmosphere during uncountable free-form encounters, over lunches or hikes to Alps and the chance to interact with bright young students from 40+ countries (they were just 15y old, but impressed with their mature ideas that were extremely well conveyed!) all made this unforgettable experience! Priit was also deeply impressed by live talks from Prof. Johan Rockström, Rashid Sumaila and Jaideep Bansal, make sure to check out the fascinating projects they work on!
Warm congratulations to this year's International Champions of Frontiers Planet Prize, Jason Rohr, PhD from USA, Pedro Jaureguiberry from Argentina and Prof Peter Haase from Germany, well done!
The call for 2025 Champions is ongoing, until September for institutions (universities) and then by the end of September, individual researchers can submit their papers for the National Championship! Check out https://lnkd.in/dFP3GGVX for more.
