About this opportunity

The Wege Prize is an international intercollegiate design competition challenging transdisciplinary teams of university students to develop real-world solutions to complex "wicked" problems through the framework of the circular economy. Teams will iterate on their solutions across four phases, receiving feedback from judges, with cash prizes awarded to the top three teams and finalists.
