The Geneva Challenge 2023: The Challenges of Loneliness - Call for registration
by RFHS Graduate Studies 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

Hello graduate students, The Geneva Challenge, hosted by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, is a project funded by Swiss Ambassador Jenö Staehelin and aims to encourage interdisciplinary problem-solving analysis among master students on advancing human development within the scope of a relevant topic. This year, students are invited to develop analysis-based proposals on "The Challenges of Loneliness". As the key to this issue is an interdisciplinary solution, crossing traditional boundaries between academic disciplines, we are inviting Master students from all academic programs and from anywhere in the world to provide helpful strategic recommendations. Five prizes, one per continent, will be distributed. Teams of 3-5 master students must submit an 8,000 words proposal which: * identifies a challenge related to loneliness; * constructs an interdisciplinary analysis to address the identified challenge; * proposes innovation at the policy, practice, process or technology levels turning the challenge into a development opportunity. The Geneva Challenge 2023 will distribute 25'000 CHF in monetary prizes and the five finalist teams will be invited (travel and accommodation expenses covered) to publicly present their work in Geneva before a panel of high-level experts. Networking opportunities are also envisioned as part of the prize package. Registrations close on 23 April 2023. Submission due by 14 July 2023. More information is available on THE GENEVA CHALLENGE 2023 | IHEID (graduateinstitute.ch)<https://www.graduateinstitute.ch/geneva-challenge/geneva-challenge-2023> Best, Bianca Felisbino she/her/hers Administrative Assistant Graduate and Post-Doctoral Studies Rady Faculty of Health Sciences [University of Manitoba logo.] 753 McDermot Avenue, Chown Building, Room A202 Winnipeg, MB R3E 0T6 Tel: 204-789-3402 Email: bianca.felisbino(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:bianca.felisbino@umanitoba.ca>
