Description

The Reimagine Our Future competition invites undergraduate students to tackle sustainability challenges they care about, with the potential for real-world impact. Participants will select and conduct research on a problem, and, with the limited guidance of an expert, propose actionable recommendations in the form of a concise 1 to 3-page factsheet—no lengthy reports required!

With around 200 teams participating annually, this is a unique opportunity to win one of twelve prizes totaling $8,500 and receive professional mentoring on your project implementation.

Submissions - by November 20.

Award ceremony - December 7 (open to all!)
