WHAT IS THE MONDIALOGO ENGINEERING AWARD? The Mondialogo Engineering Award (MEA) is a part of the Mondialogo initiative launched by Daimler and UNESCO in 2003. The Mondialogo Engineering Award invites student engineers from developing and developed countries to form international, multicultural teams to design projects aimed at improving the quality of life of people in developing countries, to contribute to addressing the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
INNOVATIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE The Award seeks to encourage student engineers to tackle some of the major challenges of the 21st century. The eradication of poverty, promotion of sustainable development and responding to climate change are key concerns of the Mondialogo Engineering Award. Participating students are asked to address these most pressing challenges of today’s world, and to develop engineering solutions and technologies that will help to reduce poverty and address basic needs, enhance sustainable development in such areas as e.g. water supply and sanitation, mitigate the negative impacts of climate change and adapt to changing climatic conditions.
STUDENT ENGINEERS DEVELOP AND PROMOTE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND DIALOGUE Over the past four years, there have been two rounds of the Mondialogo Engineering Award – in 2004/05 and 2006/07. The Mondialogo Engineering Award has inspired several thousand engineering students around the world to cooperate in international partner teams to develop project proposals, sharing their knowledge and expertise and thereby promoting intercultural dialogue between countries around the world.
