Bachelor of Environmental Studies (BES) Student Committee
BES Groves
BES Groves is an annual event organised by the BES student Committee with the aim of giving BES students the opportunity to understand the impact of marine trash firsthand and promote environmental awareness, as well as to do our best to remove debris found in the mangroves of Lim Chu Kang. The event is in conjunction with International Coastal Cleanup (ICC), an international event held annually to remove debris from shorelines, waterways, and beaches around the world, while at the same time collecting data on the type of debris found at these places. This information will then be used for educational purposes, as well as be submitted to governing bodies to encourage changes in policy for the protection and enhancement of aquatic environments.

Food Science and Technology (FST) Society
NUS FoodTech Challenge (FTC)
NUS FoodTech Challenge (FTC) is an annual competition that brings together students from various tertiary educational institutions to brainstorm and develop innovative food tech ideas to tackle pressing issues confronted by the food industry today. The event is led by NUS Food Science and Technology (NUS FST) and NUS Enterprise, in partnership with corporate sponsors. In this year’s iteration, the event incorporated an international track which comprised of teams from China, Malaysia, Indonesia and the UK.
The challenge kicks off with a pre-competition online workshop, where industry experts share insights on business models and pitching and food formulation. Local and international track teams that managed to impress judges with their unique food ideas will advance into the preparation phase. The finalists will then attend prototyping workshops to refine their ideas under the mentorship of industry experts. Top finalists of each track stand a chance to win grand prize awards, potential internship opportunities with leading food-and-beverage companies and receive post-event support from The Hangar by NUS Enterprise.
FST Overseas Community Involvement Project (OCIP)
FST Overseas Community Involvement Project (OCIP) is organised annually by NUS Food Science and Technology (NUS FST), aimed at empowering rural communities through food science, sustainability, and education. Each year, a team of NUS FST students travels to partner villages in collaboration with local organisations and community leaders, to co-develop practical, culturally grounded solutions that address real food-related challenges faced on the ground. FST OCIP focuses on capacity-building rather than one-off aid, with activities ranging from hands-on workshops on food safety and preservation, to developing small-scale processing techniques, to educational outreach for children and youths.
