The 2016 Geneva Challenge – Call for contributions

The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies announced the 2016 edition of the Geneva Challenge – the Advancing Development Goals international Contest for graduate students. This year students are invited to develop analysis-based proposals on “The Challenges of Urbanization”.

The competition invites teams of 3-5 master students to:

• identify a challenge stemming from urbanization;
• 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.

The finalists will be invited to publically present their work in Geneva before a panel of high-level experts. Networking and publication opportunities are also envisioned as part of the prize package.

Deadline for registrations: May 25th, 2016.  More information HERE.
