Eager to stimulate reflection and innovation on development from diverse disciplinary and contextual perspectives and with the generous support of Ambassador Jenö Staehelin, the Graduate Institute has launched in 2014 the Advancing Development Goals Contest, an international competition for Master students.
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 three to five enrolled master students from anywhere in the world.
WORTH
Five prizes will be distributed, one per continent:
- Universities located in Africa
- Universities located in Asia
- Universities located in Europe
- Universities located in North America and Oceania
- Universities located in South America
- The five finalist teams are invited to come to Geneva (traveling and accommodation expenses covered) for their project showcases and the award ceremony end of September 2020.
- The winning project will receive a cash prize of CHF 10’000; the two teams in second place will receive CHF 5’000 each and the two teams in third place, CHF 2’500 each.
ELIGIBILITY
- Participants must be enrolled as Master students at the time of their registration for the contest.
- Participants must gather in teams of 3 to 5 Master students. In the submitted analysis, they should contribute with an interdisciplinary approach or from at least 2 different disciplinary perspectives.
DEADLINE: March 23 2020
