SOCIAL INNOVATION COMPETITION

The Human Development Research Initiative's Social Innovation Competition is a yearly event in which we invite teams of students from all over the world to identify a problem or issue of their choice and propose an innovative solution. Each team submits a proposal that focuses on policies that non-governmental organizations can enact to solve the problem at hand. The top-scoring applications will be taken forward to a jury panel composed of experts in the Human Development field appointed by, but independent, from the organizing committee. 

​

Past Social Innovation Competition themes have included furthering peace, justice, and strong institutions in the world, SDGs related to the environment (SDGs 11-12-13-14-15) and SDGs related to global health.

 

Keep an eye out for future announcements of the 2023-24 Social Innovation Competition!
