Design Science Lab

This June 17-25, students and young professionals from around the world are coming to Philadelphia and the UN in New York. They are coming to attend the 8th annual Global Solutions Lab-- where they will have a unique opportunity to present their ideas at the United Nations. Here's how it works-- participants are briefed by UN experts, work collaboratively and intensely for eight days on solutions to one of the world's most critical problems, and then present their work to UN, corporate and foundation leaders on the last day of the Lab-- as well as have it published in a book. (To see last year's publication, check out http://www.designsciencelab.com/book)
