About the Challenge

 

Who are we Looking For?


Global Universities Challenge is by invitation only and exclusive to select graduate students of public policy, government relations, political science, and business administration. Therefore, the challenge targets participation from top graduate universities and schools from each continent. As a participant in the Challenge, each student has been specifically selected to represent their institution. The student is therefore an ambassador of that institution and they are expected to demonstrate themselves in the highest standards of ethics and good conduct during the challenge.

The judging criteria will be as follows:

40%
