Egis Foundation – International Student Innovation Challenge

The International Student Innovation Challenge

My Challenge Itinerary 2025 (1920 X 1500 Px)

Launched in 2022, Team Up for Climate! is an international student challenge dedicated to climate innovation. For four years, it has connected universities and schools worldwide to develop solutions for climate adaptation.

Every year, hundreds of students from over 70 nationalities work on diverse projects. Each team benefits from the guidance of Egis mentors to help them develop and present their project to an international jury.

Some winning projects are already being implemented, such as the creation of rain gardens to manage urban flooding in Nepal and sustainable agriculture solutions in Benin. These projects are closely followed and supported to help bring them to life..

In 2025, the 4th edition of the challenge is underway! Details on how to participate are available on the official Team up for Climate! 2025 platform

What we'll look for.

Creative thinking.

We’re interested in new solutions to tackle the climate emergency or mitigate its effects. The ideas don’t need to be technically advanced, but they do need to present an innovative approach or methodology.

Measurable impact.

We’re looking for pitches and proposals that are workable, practical to implement and that we can easily measure the potential success of.

Community impact.

We’re keen to see ideas that tackle the social and community aspects of climate change, along with those that help improve the health and well-being of people and communities.
