Challenges Online - 7-11 June 2021
We have designed this online programme based on Grand Challenges, which has been successfully running for the last seven years. Challenges Online ran for the first time in 2020, and is returning on 7-11 June 2021.
Challenges Online is a project week, in which you will work in interdisciplinary groups with other like-minded students to design innovative solutions to real-world sustainability problems. Top academics and invited speakers will share their views and help you apply your skills and knowledge to the questions and issues you are most passionate about. You will further develop your transferable skills including teamwork, presentation skills and project planning, which will make you stand out to future employers. Following the Challenges Online week, the university can support you to continue with your projects so you can make a longer term impact.
