At Leeds Sustainability Institute, we are committed to knowledge exchange, innovation and collaboration for sustainability.

We host and support events that bring together academia, industry and the young generation, and we praise for the reputation we built through these events not only in the UK but also internationally. The SEEDS International Conference welcomes representatives from more than 15 countries, while the RISE Awards event connects the industry with academia to explore the latest technologies and best practice in the built environment.

Our main ambition is to expand our networks and inspire like-minded individuals, no matter their age, background, area of expertise or industry, the only prerequisite is to want to create more sustainable places, communities and economies. Join our SEEDS and RISE networks!

RISE Awards and RISE Awards for Schools

Each year we run the RISE Awards. These are highly regarded awards that seek to recognise, celebrate and showcase exemplar case studies from the Built Environment sharing emerging best practices in Research, Innovation, Sustainability, and Enterprise for new and innovative products, technologies, processes, projects, and schemes. Our awards bring together academia, industry, third sector, and community groups in a unique celebration of all those who are helping to change the way we build and live in the future.

In 2021, the Leeds Sustainability Institute took a step forward to engage the younger generation in creating solutions for a sustainable future. We have launched the RISE Awards for School, a competition that encourages secondary school students to make their voices heard while being inspired by professionals from the built environment.
