Some partners, including academic institutions, organizations, or third parties, put on International Competitions, that are open to students from around the world to participate, and compete on a set topic, often as a team though sometimes individually, to solve complex global challenges. 

The parameters and eligibility are set by the organization or institution itself, as they are independently run challenges, and U of T does not nominate or make decisions as to which teams to accept or move forward within these competitions. Questions about eligibility or processes should be directed to the institution running the challenge. 

Note that by applying to the challenge, you consent to your information being shared with U of T.
