and /or
2. enable behaviours that will benefit the environment on campus and throughout life.
The call for applications is open with two deadlines for review in Semester 1 (December 20th) and Semester 2 (February 22nd). Please complete the form available here and submit by email only to mhallaha@tcd.ie.
