In October, Lab founder Dr. Michael Ben-Eli visited Bhutan to advance The Lab’s Anders Nyquist Sustainability Prize at the College of Natural Resources (CNR) of the Royal University of Bhutan. The purpose of the visit was to review the current (2024-2025) cohort of competing projects and launch the 2026 Prize cycle.
Rooted in The Sustainability Laboratory’s Five Core Sustainability Principles, the program fosters a systems-based approach to education, aiming to inspire and support student initiatives and encourage the development of entrepreneurial projects that impact local communities and address critical sustainability issues.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the program’s donors, Per Carstedt and the Göran Carstedt Family Foundation, whose generosity makes this transformative initiative possible. Together, we are nurturing the next generation of sustainability innovators and leaders.
The visit also included meetings with government officials to explore opportunities for collaborating on development projects in the future.
