Global Students’ Idea Factory 2026

© Global Students’ Idea Factory

[Deadline: 2026/2/21] The Global Students’ Idea Factory invites students to collaborate to tackle social issues with a global perspective using their research ideas. This program provides a platform to share and refine ideas and turn them into impactful actions.

The program aims to incubate project proposals by identifying 5-6 specific challenges, forming a team for each challenge, and designing a narrative to gather research ideas. Students will work in teams to develop an initial proposal, a presentation, and a pathway to the global workshop and final presentation.

By participating, you’ll be tackling real-world challenges with peers from diverse backgrounds, helping to shape your future as a global change-maker.

Let’s build ideas to tackle social issues with global colleagues!

The program begins with the Spring Boost Camp, where students will present their ideas, experience teamwork in an interdisciplinary context with global colleagues, and collaborate to translate their research ideas into a concrete project proposal.

Following the camp, a Global Workshop will be held to further refine these projects and enhance collaboration. The program then culminates in a final event with presentations and an award ceremony, involving key stakeholders.
