What does the competition involve?
The question you are asked to answer is “What global challenge would you solve with entrepreneurship and how?” We welcome submissions in one of three strands: Medical & Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, and Arts & Humanities.
Selected participants and one supporter will be invited to attend a day at the Oxford Edge and Christ Church on Tuesday 10 March to celebrate their achievement, present their posters, and learn more about entrepreneurship and undergraduate study at Oxford. The provisional timetable for the day is:
10:00 – 10:30 Arrival at Oxford Edge and registration
10:30 – 10:45 Q&A with student entrepreneurs
10:45 – 11:30 Pupils: poster displays and two-minute presentations / Supporters: tour of the Oxford Edge Centre
11:30 – 12:00 Oxford walk on the way to Christ Church
12:00 – 13:00 Lunch in the Christ Church Hall
13:00 – 14:00 Oxford and the role of super-curriculars in the application process
14:00 – 14:45 Christ Church tour with student ambassadors
14:45 – 15:15 Poster commendations and closing remarks
15:15 – 15:30 Reflection and evaluation
The event will be free of charge and lunch will be provided. We would not want the cost of travelling to Oxford to prevent students from participating and are able to offer support with travel costs by public transport (e.g. buses and trains) to participants who would otherwise be unable to attend.
