Map the System is a global competition hosted by the University of Oxford that challenges students to think differently about social and environmental change.
Unlike traditional business pitch competitions, students are not judged by their proposed solutions, but rather on their depth of understanding of the challenge they want to address.
Map the System encourages a learning first approach to social change – one where people take the time to understand and build upon existing efforts before attempting something new.
Map the System is for SFU students and recent graduates of any faculty who have an interest in social or environmental issues, and who want to learn more about a problem they care about and present their findings to the world.
