The Urban Works Innovation Challenge invites applications from passionate young students who can create viable and interdisciplinary design-concepts for transforming 21st-century workspaces into innovative and productive environments. In this 2018 challenge, winning individuals and teams will specifically work on environmentally friendly, ergonomic, and cost-efficient solutions for improving the sustainability of Indian workspaces.
We invite students from all schools at the university to participate in this exciting opportunity to address such a complex and future-facing problem.
This Design Challenge aims to generate innovative interdisciplinary technology solutions and policies that could have an immediate impact on the future of workspaces in urban settings in India. Teams selected to continue will win a trip to Mumbai in January 2019.
