How WUR Student Challenges help ideas and students grow

Longread Pioneering for a better world attracts many to Wageningen University & Research. For students from all over the globe, a WUR Student Challenge is the ultimate introduction. This innovative educational concept is celebrating its five-year anniversary. In 2017, to mark its centenary, Wageningen University & Research organised a major international student contest in life sciences for the very first time. Prior to this, there had only been small-scale challenges organised by chair groups. But for its centenary celebrations, the university decided to go big. The WUR Student Challenge was born.
