Borderless: an interuniversity economic competition series
Join students from an international university and collaborate digitally in the 2020 Borderless competition series.
UQ’s School of Economics invites students to partner with international partner universities to compete in addressing some of the global problems and research topics economists face today.
Connect online with students from across the globe and team up to develop your best tools and economic strategies, before digitally submitting your ideas to a panel of international judges.
With some great prizes up for grabs and an unforgettable opportunity to add to your CV, the Borderless competition series looks to provide invaluable experience and recognition for creative problem solving, economic understanding and online cross-country collaborating skills.
"The Borderless economics competition challenged me to do something that’s rarely asked of economics students. It made me think outside the box. It got me thinking creatively about how to communicate highly technical concepts in an original way, and how to negotiate with students in other countries.
In that sense, the competition was really a unique learning experience that is hard to come by in the classroom." - Jennifer, third-place winner.
Borderless is back for Semester 2, 2020 and we want YOU!
Open to undergraduate and postgraduate students who have previously completed a course within the School of Economics*, this competition will see you connecting in teams of four with students from the University of Exeter in London.
Once allocated in a team, you’ll work together in a real-time market platform, Lomeweb, to tackle your challenge and reach targets. After the market platform testing is complete, you will present your findings with your interuniversity peers via a video submission to a panel of international judges.
With cash prizes up for grabs, what are you waiting for? It’s time to hit the ground running and compete in this interuniversity economic competition. Apply now via the competition page.
