World Workplace Europe Student Challenge 2022

EuroFM Education is working with FMN, EMEA IFMA and IFMA Foundation on a Student Challenge for World Workplace Europe 2022. We are interested in hearing from FM students on their ‘Reaction to COP26 – Is FM doing enough and is doing enough, good enough?’ We want to hear from Students to determine what mandate should associations be taking to ensure the FM discipline is making a real contribution to reducing carbon emissions and ensuring next generations have a future that meets and goes beyond SDG goals. 

Due to the challenges of the increased number of cases around Europe the World Workplace Europe 2022 conference is moved to 1-2 June. For this reason, we have had to change dates for the Student Challenge. The Student Challenge is supported with  EuroFM Education in collaboration with FMN, EMEA IFMA and IFMA Foundation. We are interested in hearing from FM students on their ‘Reaction to COP26 – Is FM doing enough and is doing enough, good enough?’. Students who are interested in participating at the Student Challenge can do so by following these steps but more detailed information is available in the attached Brochure:

• Apply by sending a motivational letter to Carmel Lindkvist Carmel@eurofm.org
  by 1 March.
• In middle of March, students will receive the news if they are selected or not to the Student Challenge. They be put into teams with students around Europe to work on the theme ‘Reaction to COP26 – Is FM doing enough and is doing enough, good enough?’ and develop a mandate for FM discipline can make a real contribution to reducing carbon emissions and ensure next generations have a future that goes beyond SDG goals. 
• At the conference the Student Challenge Teams will pitch their results to a jury who will select the winning team on stage on the 2nd of June during the WWEU22 conference.

FM for a Sustainable Future

What will it take to achieve sustainable, long-term growth for our facilities? To meet urgent climate objectives and European Green Deal initiatives takes circular, clean, carbon-neutral action. To support a hybrid workforce takes a flexible, experience-driven approach. To maintain resilience and agility takes technology-enabled business transformation. To further engagement and growth takes focusing culture on innovation, inclusivity and positive impact.

Our industry is essential to creating and operating environments that can meet modern demands, adapt to rapid shifts and withstand future disruption. World Workplace Europe explores the expanding skillsets, adaptable mindsets and digital toolkits necessary to sustain our facilities, our people, our careers and our planet.

World Workplace Europe is the largest and most well-respected conference for facility management and related stakeholders in the region. Held annually, World Workplace Europe facilitates idea-sharing and knowledge-exchange between professionals who support and sustain the built environment to ensure smarter, more efficient, healthier, sustainable and safer facilities.
