Green Camp is a competition for candidate students from the University of Southern Denmark in Esbjerg and Aalborg University in Esbjerg. The students work with cases provided by local companies from Varde Municipality with a sustainable perspective, where the aim is to solve challenges related to green transition.
The ambition is to:
- Develop sustainable solutions that will be used in companies
- Create and strengthen the network between students and the enrolled companies
- Give the students a good experience with the business life that awaits them after graduation
- Enable local companies to discover new talent and see the opportunities in hiring student assistants or graduates with an academic education
The competition runs for three days. On the first day the students are placed in groups and paired with a local company, which provides them with a real-life case. Already at day one, the groups will start working on the cases. On the second day the casework continues, at the location of the company. Last, the third day is the official competition day. Here the groups will present the result of their casework and a committee of judges will decide the winners of the competition.
