IMPORTANT – New Opportunities

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

NextLabbers,

I have just finished posting 9 items in the “Opportunities” section of this website. Please make sure all of you see these opportunities and that your Sustainability Officer is fully aware of their deadlines. In particular, I expect all teams to participate in the Seed Awards, whose deadline is on March 16th.

I have also just finished posting 9 items in the “Talks and Activities” section of this website, and 2 items in the Resources section. All of these sections can be accessed using the corresponding links under the “pages” title on the right side of this page.

I urge you to post all information of “Opportunities”, “Talks and Activities” and “Resources” you come across and that you feel may be relevant to your peers. The objective of these sections is to enable all of us to crowdsource.

Good luck!

The Kind of Things You Should Be Applying For

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Teams,

This is the kind of thing your sustainability officers should be busy finding and applying for.  The class is not about putting up a venture plan as much as for executing it.  Moreover, these kinds of challenges and grants give you money to start a venture that you will not have the chance once you are out of school.  So visit the website and apply.

“NetSquared is pleased to announce a new Partner Challenge with
University of California at Berkeley’s HumanRightsCenter. This Challenge
encourages innovations for mobile technologies in human rights
investigations and advocacy.  The Challenge is now open for submissions -
the deadline to submit is March 13th!”
