How it works
The Olympiad has three age groups: <16, 17-20, 21-25. This means your answers will be compared within your age group during the qualifier stage of application.
However, to ensure a fair comparison, each group will have a normalized score which will allow a fair choice of winners.
Once you reach the Semi Finals, you will be required to write a 1000-word proposal in 3 hours on a topic that will corespond with one of the following.
- Energy – Clean Energy, Sustainable Transport, industry
- Development – Sustainable Development, Sustainable Economics, Circular Economy
- Natural Systems – Sustainable Agriculture, Biodiversity, Water Resources
During the Final stage you will receive a complex global problem to solve in a 3000-word solution. Afterwards you will have 20 minutes to present your solution.
If you think you need a bit more preparation before you apply or before the next stages of the qualifiers, CSO invites you to download their app.
In it, you can complete courses and take quizzes that can make a difference in your skills.
