Seven students received the 2012 Veolia Top Creative Talents Award and Scholarship on Monday at Tsinghua University. The Asia CEO of Veolia Environmental Services and the Dean of School of Environment under Tsinghua University presented the awards.
Luc Zeller, Asia CEO of Veolia Environmental Services, said, "I hope you make what you learned here more practical, easy-to-use, as soon as you start to work."
More than 300 School of Environment students have received the award since the award and scholarship was founded three years ago. The award and scholarship is one of three parts of the cooperation between Veolia Environment Group and the School of Environment under Tsinghua University, which also includes training programs and joint research.
"Last time, when Mr Zeller came here, after the presentation, quite a lot students contacted him for an internship at Veolia," said Yu Gang, Dean of the School of Environment under Tsinghua University.
But many award-winning students continue their study after undergraduate study.
"Maybe after (becoming) a PhD or master, they will start finding a job," said Yu.
Veolia Top Creative Talents Award and Scholarship of School of Environment under Tsinghua University is funded by the Veolia Environment Group. The award and scholarship recognizes top creative students' outstanding performance in extra-curricular subjects, academic research, social practice, and voluntary services.
The cooperation program helps Veolia better understand technological improvements that reduce pollution, so as to make the technological developments become better services, Zeller told the reporter.
Veolia expects "to better understand the needs of China in terms of the environment, and to be associated with practical research," said Zeller.
