University Registration
Universities who wish to participate in the EWB Challenge are invited to register their involvement by 29 May 2010.
Registration costs AUD $1,000 per university per year.
University registration is very important because it:
Enables EWB to track university and student participation
Provides important funding to support the administration of the EWB Challenge. This includes presentations at universities, communication with students and lecturers and the development of future design briefs.
A significant potion of the university registration funds will be set aside to provide travel support to teams invited to present their work at the EWB National Conference.
In return for their registration, universities have the opportunity to participate in the Australasian national design program which provides excellent learning outcomes for sustainability education.

Chapters focus on:
