Designing Solutions for Poverty Competition (Spring 2015)

DEADLINE: May 15, 2015

The Blum Center for Global Engagement invites UC Irvine undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, postdocs, faculty and staff to submit a proposal of a design or technology-based solution with the capacity to be applied to a real world, poverty-related problem in areas such as financial inclusion, energy, water, health, and services.

Proposals should elaborate on an idea – a prototype is helpful, but not necessary.

Applicants from all disciplinary backgrounds are encouraged to apply – applicants need not come from an engineering or IT background.

Applicants submitting the top three proposals will be invited to a private salon to present their ideas to experts and potential investors to be held Saturday, June 6, 2015. One winner will be selected at the salon and will receive an all-expense paid weekend at Pelican Hill for his or her self and up to 5 guests.
