MZ340A01 Urban Health Case Challenge

The Urban Health Case Challenge (UHCC) is a new initiative under the 4EU+ University Alliance, which aim is to addresses urban changes in relation to health and demographic transformation. In a case challenge (also often called a case competition) the participating student teams strive to develop the best solution to a real-world issue within a limited time-span. Each team presents their solution in front of an expert jury at a pitching session on the last day of the case challenge. All teams receive pitch training to prepare them for the final presentation. The aim is to strengthen university students’ competencies and engagement in solutions to real-world cases through employment of practical, theoretical, innovative and interdisciplinary thinking. Students work in mixed teams, to network and learn from and with each other, faculty, the external case provider and other stakeholders.
