Look for updates here and also via the updates section of the Awards site as we look next to announcing the shortlist of finalists on August 30 and announcing the winners in a live web event September 13.
We continue to feature and share the stories of impact from previous OE Awards winners. And also, shared only here in OEG Connect, we are hoping to arrange a live webcast from the Fab Lab Kä Träre (UNED, Distance State University of Costa Rica) 3D printing of the OE Awards trophy.
It’s all inspiring and again we thank all nominators for making this years selection process a challenge to choose the award winners.
