Ashridge Business School, in partnership with the European Academy of Business in Society (EABIS) and supported by HP and WWF, has launched the Ashridge Sustainable Innovation Award 2008/2009. The award is designed to generate the best ideas from MBA and other post-graduate students on how organisations can create value from the shift to a low carbon economy. The winning entrant will receive a cash prize of 7,000, a six month mentorship with HP and career advice from Spencer Stuart, the executive search firm. The second and third prizes are 5,000 and 3,000 respectively, also including career advice. The award is open to full or part-time students studying on any MBA programme being taught in Europe, the Middle East or Africa (EMEA) during the 2008/2009 academic year. Additionally, the award is open to full or part-time MBA students at one of EABIS non-EMEA member schools and students on MBA or Masters level postgraduate programmes at HP linked universities. The closing date for entries is 2 March 2009. The award will be accompanied by presentations from WWF at select universities over the next few months.
