Yale x Yale-NUS Global Policy Hackathon

The Yale / Yale-NUS Policy Hackathon brings together students around the world to solve critical issues in global policy. The Hackathon aims to empower students interested in solving the pressing issues around them by providing them with the tools, resources, and opportunities necessary to explore an interest in global issues. This year’s hackathon will be run entirely virtually and include two topics, one focusing on issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and the other focusing on global environmental issues and economic development. The Hackathon will take place over the weekend of February 26-28. Teams are given 2 days to prepare and create a solution, and the top 6 teams will have the opportunity to present to a panel of judges consisting of distinguished researchers, policymakers, and professors in relevant fields. Participants will also have access to a Policy Conference, which features workshops and presentations from industry professionals, researchers, and policymakers in relevant fields.

Teams will be composed of 4-6 students from various global universities. Students may sign up as a closed team, an open team, or an individual looking to join a team.
