Congratulations to our 11 teams of students that took part in the 2025 Aegis Professor Undergraduate Competition. The standard was incredibly high and we were delighted to award our first prize to Team 9 who tackled the challenge of clean drinking water for all. Close runners up were Team 25 who looking into how organisations can reduce their environmental footprint.
I appreciated the chance to network with professors at the celebration event. I learned new skills, like presenting and creating informative posters
