Better food. For all. GAIN Student Challenge 2019

REGISTRATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 23 SEPTEMBER 2019!

On 15 and 16 November 2019, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) will launch its second Student Challenge in collaboration with different Dutch higher educational institutions. For two days, 50 students will work in interdisciplinary teams to develop a solution to one of GAIN’s present-day projects.

With this student challenge, GAIN seeks to reach out to students from all study backgrounds to raise awareness about food systems and nutrition: the students will work in small, mixed teams on one of GAIN’s current projects. The aim is to develop sustainable and innovative solutions to improve the food system. Students’ solutions might be implemented in the field.

Why participate?

1. Learn about (the challenges of improving) nutrition and the international food system.
2. Learn about the activities of a global non-profit organisation by working on a real project.
