Company underscores sustainability through University partnership
Grundfos, a leading water and climate company, is spreading the message of sustainability to the next generation of engineers in the UAE through a learning initiative with three of the region’s top universities which has already reached over 300 students in just one semester.
Grundfos teamed up with American University in Sharjah, Khalifa University and RIT Dubai to deliver training sessions on sustainability and the application of the latest digital pump technologies and cloud communications for fresh, wastewater and district cooling systems, as well as commercial buildings and industrial utilities.
“Sustainability has to become a way of life. Through this new initiative, we are collaborating with universities across the UAE to influence the mindset of our future engineers,” commented Kostas Poulopoulos, Area Managing Director Gulf, Levant and Pakistan, Grundfos.
In addition to the sustainability training, an additional 50 students have also participated in a special ASME AUS sustainable city competition, which challenged students to maximize sustainability across a city, through key areas such as air quality, water, sewage, waste handling and use of green spaces.
