Team up for climate 2024!

Adapting and living together in the face of climate risks

 

This challenge is open to students, interns and trainees from EGIS as well as young graduates.

 

Take part in the transformation!

We're inviting you to create or join a team to come up with an innovative solution on the topic :  adapting and living together in the face of climate risks.

Every year, the Egis mentors and makesense support more than 500 youths from more than 50 countries on real-life issues in their own communities, to help their communities adapt to climate change.

For this 3rd edition, we've decided to go even further in our support for projects to give them a real chance of of becoming reality: in addition to the cash prize of up to €5,000, we'll be giving a boost of up to €7,000 to the winners who prove to us that they've launched the project.

Ready for the challenge ?

 

There are different adaptation strategies for dealing with climate risks and one solution can combine several strategies : it is therefore possible to choose several categories. Choose the way you want to act !
