Through our partnership with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign we are pleased to be able to offer students the opportunity to take part in the Reimagine Our Future competition. You will develop an innovative plan or solution that promotes one or more of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while taking a cross-disciplinary approach to consider the other relevant SDGs. Your particular sustainability problem or challenges could be at a local, regional, national or international level anywhere in the world.
Students can take part in a team or as an individual. If you would like to be part of team, but are unsure how to go about finding like-minded individuals please email Julia Myatt (j.p.myatt@bham.ac.uk) by the 27 September.
The first step is to register your team and your priority SDGs by Friday 6 October. There will then be deadlines on 22 Oct 22 and 19 Nov. Successful finalists will be notified on 25 Nov, before preparing a presentation for 26 Nov - 1 Dec. For more details and information please ensure you read all elements of the competition website. If you are considering submitting an application, please inform Prof Julia Myatt (j.p.myatt@bham.ac.uk) as she will be able to support with finding specialists on campus and with the process.
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your collaborative skills, be creative and tackle some real-world challenges, as well as engage with like-minded students from around the globe.
