“What is genius, anyway, if it isn't the ability to give an adequate response to a great challenge?”

Dear Ms Vandendaele and Mr Jacobs,

I have found an interesting competition for future MTB students. Have you ever heard of the CleanTech Challenge? This challenge is an innovative competition for Belgian students in cooperation with the International CleanTech Challenge in London. The idea behind the competition is to build a better future through environmentally-friendly technology. This kind of resembles the MTB Innovation Award BUT the price is €5,000 cash (and lifelong fame, of course)! The challenge is open to all students who have an innovative idea to tackle the current problems related to energy generation and energy consumption. The organization helps you to build a network of professionals that can help you with the realization of your idea. You can form groups beforehand but you can also log on to the forum and find a particular team member (for example an engineering student that can help you with the more practical side of your idea). You can also go to their free kick-off event to meet other people with green ideas. The competition consists of two rounds, with five semi-finalists. These semi-finalists have to convince the Belgian jury and the winner can participate in the European Finals in London.
What do you think? Do you think future MTB students are up for the challenge?
