About the Competition
The Richard Charles Lee Big Ideas Competition invites U of T students from across disciplines and degree programs in the Faculty of Arts and Science to come up with an idea for a creative, social entrepreneurial, innovative project that takes what they know about contemporary Asia to solve a problem, spread an idea, or make a difference. Through workshops, brainstorming and critiquing sessions throughout the year, students receive advice and feedback from experts and gain important hard and soft skillsets for meeting the diverse challenges of our rapidly changing world. In the process, we are building global citizens and future leaders whose work is grounded in the research rigour needed to identify critical problems and shape solutions to make a difference.
