Pitches and Prizes Ceremony: Student Case Competition at Toronto Climate Week
Calling all University of Toronto students: do you have what it takes to shape the future of climate solutions?
University of Toronto's Lawson Climate Institute, in partnership with Canada's Ocean Supercluster, a national, industry-led cluster that accelerates the development and commercialization of made-in-Canada ocean solutions, invites U of T students from all areas of study to put their ideas to the test.

This is an exciting chance for students to showcase their creativity, gain hands-on experience, and compete for recognition during one of Toronto’s biggest climate events.
