Waiting for the final judgement


On the 4th April, the panel of judges of our international essay competition received the 10 essays.

In the coming months, they will be evaluating the essays and decide which to take the 1st and 2nd prize. The 1st price is 16,000 € and the second price is 8,000 €. The decision will be made in the beginning of June, and the revelation is to take place at NIRAS’ anniversary reception on the 31st August.

A total of 126 enthusiastic essayists from 37 different countries participated in our international essay competition. They all wrote an abstract for their essay, describing their views on a future global knowledge society. The average level of the abstracts was very high, and we highly appreciate the many different and fascinating opinions and visions brought forward by the competitors. Therefore, it was an almost unfair task having to pick out only 10 essayists for the second and final phase of the competition.

Though it was very hard, we succeeded to pick out 10 exciting abstracts, all characterized by depicting the future global knowledge society in an innovative and fresh way based on in depth considerations and exciting conclusions. The essays are now in the hands of the judges, and it is with great expectation that we are looking forward to the 31st August where the winner of NIRAS’ essay competition will be unveiled and the 10 essays publicized.

Shall plant the next seed soon...
