Negavatt

Negavatt is a competition launched in cooperation between the EIC and the Ministry of the Environment, in which teams from universities – whose good ideas help in moving towards a more resource efficient society in their educational institution or campus – are expected to participate. Even, if the offered design solution helps only a little bit, it is still important – every big change consists of many small initiatives.
