Access & Features
  • Registration/RSVP

Hundreds of undergraduate students across the NATO Alliance will unite for a seven-hour case Challenge to address and counter disinformation in one of seven realms, each competing to develop the most comprehensive and innovative solution that can be put into practice.

During the challenge and over seven hours, teams will work with expert mentors in one of seven streams:

  • Russia-Ukraine War
  • Public Health
  • Climate Change: Clean Energy
  • Climate Change: Climate Security
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Gender-Based Violence
  • Terrorism


Mentors will help guide students as they discuss and deliberate their proposed plan of action, and have backgrounds in government, industry, academia, and other disciplines.

Each plan of action will consider NATO's existing capacity and consider what actions NATO should implement within the next 12 months. Panels of expert judges will evaluate the proposals and select one winner from each stream for a total of seven winners, who will receive $500 each. The winners will be announced at the conclusion of the Challenge via a live Zoom event/webinar from 2pm to 2:45pm ET (6pm to 6:45 GMT).
