Faculty of Social Sciences & Jarislowsky Chair
The FSS Challenge is an innovation competition that uses collective intelligence to imagine, create, and develop innovative solutions to social challenges.
During the three-day competition, participants will pool their knowledge and expertise to develop a briefing book for a new federal government minister, following their appointment to Cabinet. As a team, they will create a written document and an oral briefing from the point of view of the department’s non-partisan public service team, to which the minister has just been assigned.
Over $5,000 in prizes will be shared between the winning teams. All participants will receive a micro-credit (1.5 credits).
More information on how to register can be found on the official event page.
