This category of Ecopolis Awards was first established during the ceremony of 2009, when special prizes were awarded to undergraduate and postgraduate university theses that preferably focused on the assessment of measures for the protection of the environment. Especially for the year 2009, the nominations concerned exclusively the area of transportation. At the ECOPOLIS 2010, nominations included projects related to the areas of wind and water as well, while at the ECOPOLIS 2011 & 2012 the topics of the suggested theses were extended so as to cover all five ECOCITY action lines. Each year’s nominations are addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations that were elaborated during the past two years.
