The Grand Challenges program is seeking the input, ingenuity and enthusiasm of the UNSW community to determine the next themes to be tackled by the University.
Since its inception in 2015, the Grand Challenges program has supported four major projects – Climate Change, Refugees and Migrants, Inequality, and Living with 21st Century Technology. Two new Grand Challenges on Rapid Urbanisation and Energy Transition are presently taking shape.
The program is looking to plan future Grand Challenges to start in late 2019 or in 2020 and is seeking the input, ingenuity and enthusiasm of the UNSW community.

The Grand Challenges program will help you bring your ideas and projects to life by:

UNSW alone can’t solve all the Grand Challenges, but as a community we can make a start.
