Apply! Graduate Institute’s Geneva Challenge for Graduate Students Worldwide

“The Challenges of Climate Change”

The idea is to gather contributions that are both theoretically grounded and offer pragmatic solutions to a relevant international development problem stemming from an interdisciplinary collaboration between 3 to 5 enrolled master students from anywhere in the world.

This year, five prizes will be distributed; one in each of the following categories (based on the UN Statistics list):
-Universities located in Africa
-Universities located in Asia
-Universities located in Europe
-Universities located in North America and Oceania
-Universities located in South America
Students are invited to
-identify a challenge stemming from climate change;
-construct an interdisciplinary analysis on how it affects different aspects of development in a specific (but transposable) context;
-propose innovation at the policy, practice, process or technology levels turning the challenge into development opportunity.
