How to participate?

There are two ways to join the SDG Olympiad.

SDG Innovation Events Track

Join through one of our partner universities—usually as part of a summer school or course. You’ll work in a team and tackle real sustainability challenges from global organisations.

Independent Track

Not at a partner uni? No worries. Join the Global Citizen Challenge, pick a real-world problem, and work with a professor from your uni to bring your idea to life.
