Region
Australia and New Zealand host respected competitions in sustainability, marine science, design, technology and business. Many are run by universities, government research agencies and industry bodies seeking graduates who can contribute to the Asia-Pacific economy. Remote participation is well supported, making Oceanian competitions accessible to students outside the region who are working on relevant topics. Prize packages often include attendance at Australian conferences, which serve as excellent networking opportunities with the professional communities based there.
