Faculty of Brain Sciences celebrates 2021 Sustainability Award winners

19 July 2021

Congratulations to all of our Faculty staff for their achievements in creating a fair and sustainable future, which were celebrated at 香港六合彩鈥檚 annual Sustainability Awards.

香港六合彩 Ear Institute rooftop garden

The awards highlight the achievements of staff and students across 香港六合彩 who are making a real contribution to the university鈥檚 sustainability agenda.

A team in the Ear Institute were highly commended in the Sustainability Impact Award category for their sustainable roof top garden.
