Social sciences Student Competitions

Social sciences competitions engage students in policy research, sociological analysis, economic modelling and applied anthropology. Think tanks, international organisations and government ministries run these challenges to generate evidence-based proposals on migration, inequality, urban development and governance. Prizes include conference presentations, publication in policy journals and funded research fellowships. For students in sociology, political science, economics, anthropology and geography, competition participation demonstrates that your academic work produces findings with practical relevance beyond the university.
