Applications for the Western University World’s Challenge Challenge – a competition that invites students from around the world to provide a solution to a global issue – closes on Sunday, 3 February 2019.
To take part, teams of three students need to pick a global issue to tackle. You will then need to present your unique solution to this issue to a panel of academic and community leaders. Your presentation and idea will be judged, and the winning team from our University will travel to Canada in June 2019 to compete at the international finals.
The overall winners will take home one of the following prizes:
- First Prize: $30,000 (CAD) presented to the winning team.
- Second Prize: $15,000 (CAD) presented to the team finishing in second place
- Third Prize: $7,500 (CAD) presented to the team finishing in third place
The Wester University World’s Challenge Challenge is managed by the Study Abroad team.
