What is EPA's P3 Competition?
P3 stands for People, Prosperity and the Planet. For this annual event, teams of college students consider all three as they design tangible, cutting-edge solutions to real-world problems. Students create; innovate; and strive to make a difference. P3 aims to engage and educate the next generation of scientists and engineers by highlighting the use of scientific principles in creating innovative technology-based projects that achieve the mutual goals of the Program.
P3 is a competitive grants program that provides teams of undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to receive awards to gain invaluable experience through classroom learning, laboratory, and field work to address environmental issues. Cumulatively, these projects promote a shift towards more environmentally benign products, processes, and systems with the aim of improving quality of life, promoting economic prosperity, and protecting the planet. P3 strives to continue this charge.
