Impact Innovator
We are bringing together hundreds of students from universities around the world to expand their international networks, gain new skills, and create ideas that will resolve some of the world most pressing issues across the different SDGs (regrouped in themes).
The Impact Innovator event is open to students and alumni from all partnering universities. Participants will create teams of 4 to 6 people, and no more than two participants will be from the same university. Each team will propose an innovation aligning with your chosen challenge theme. The entirety of the event interactions will take place on slack and zoom. However, the finale will be hybrid. There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners chosen from each track, with the 1st places chosen to compete in the finale.
