U4Energy

SEAI have been appointed to manage an EU wide energy competition called U4Energy, for primary and secondary schools in Ireland. As the closing date for submissions is after the Scifest events, they would like to promote the competition at the Scifest events; i.e. put up a display stand and hand out leaflets and to encourage all the winners of the Sustainable Energy awards to enter their project into the competition (assuming it is relevant to one of the 3 categories). For more information on the competition see .They intend being present at SciFest at IT Sligo 2012.
