About the Program

Hosted by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies and funded by Swiss Ambassador Jenö Staehelin, it is a project which aims to encourage interdisciplinary problem-solving analysis among master students on advancing human development within the scope of a relevant topic. This year, students are invited to develop analysis-based proposals on “The Challenges of Poverty Reduction”.

What to Expect

Teams of 3-5 master students must submit an 8,000 words proposal which:

  • identifies a challenge related to poverty reduction;
  • constructs an interdisciplinary analysis on how it affects different aspects of development in a specific (but transposable) context;
  • proposes innovation at the policy, practice, process or technology levels turning the challenge into development opportunity.
