This information session is hosted by Universitas21. Please register directly with U21 using the RISE Competition page.

If you have a voluntary, social enterprise or environmental project that you would like to scale up, develop, and build, then RISE is for you.

If you are a current student or recent graduate (2 years or less) who started your project while at university, then you can participate. You must have started to implement your project in some way (it cannot be just an idea), but it can still be at very early stages of development.

The project must directly address at least one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In practice most non-profit and social innovation projects will already be addressing at least one goal. To get an idea of the type of projects eligible for RISE, check out the 2019 RISE showcase.

Projects may be individual or group led. Where there is a large student group (e.g. a student society), a leadership group of up to 7 students should be identified as the main entrants.
You can still enter if you have already received or applied for other development funding and awards. However, all current or pending applications or awards must be declared when you enter RISE, so that we can establish there is no conflict of interest.
