Students from TU Dublin’s Creative Digital Media programme at the Blanchardstown campus have been recognised at the National Transport Authority’s Smarter Travel Student Awards, celebrating projects that promote sustainable and active travel.

Creative Digital Media students from TU Dublin’s Blanchardstown campus successfully tackled an enterprise challenge sponsored by Ireland’s foremost energy provider, ESB. With expert guidance from mentors at ESB and employing a design thinking approach, they responded to complex, global energy consumption problems. Their mission was clear: to develop innovative solutions aligned with ESB’s Net Zero by 2040 strategy and the UN’s Affordable and Clean Energy sustainable development goal.
