Team application deadline: Dec 4, 2017
Semi-finals: Jan 25, 2018 (evening)
Finals: March 6, 2018
International Finals in London, Ontario: June 2018

Teams of three students must choose a global issue and design a unique solution that relates to one or more of the Global Goals. Selected teams will then present their solutions to a panel of Dalhousie academic leaders who will judge team presentations and ideas based on an established scoring rubric.  The top team from Dalhousie will win $3,000 and a trip to London, Ontario in June 2018, to compete in the international finals. 

Travel and accommodations for the top-team members will be provided, and they will have an opportunity to network with some of the best and brightest students from around the world.  Additional academic and networking events will be planned around the internal Challenge so that students can participate in further discussions around global issues.

Who can participate?

At Dalhousie, this competition is open to all students:  undergraduate and graduate, from any faculty, full and part-time.  We encourage teams to bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds or areas of study, making sure that at least two disciplines are represented.  Only teams of three students are accepted to the competition.
