Dear Students,

Open to all the students of MBA/BBA/BSIT/BSCS students 

We are pleased to announce the opening of applications for the internal competition of “Map the System”, a global learning program and competition hosted by the University of Oxford’s Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship.

Students may choose to participate individually or in teams of up to five members. Interdisciplinary teams are highly encouraged—for example, teams may include students from MBA, BBA, BSIT, BSCS. 

Each team will explore a complex social or environmental issue of their choice. Participants will actively engage for 8–12 weeks to research, prepare, and submit their project materials.

About the Global Final Competition

Teams selected for the Global Finals in Oxford must prepare a 10-minute oral presentation demonstrating:

• An understanding of the broader system surrounding their chosen challenge
• Root causes, systemic patterns, assumptions, gaps, and potential levers of change
• A systems-thinking perspective on the current state of the challenge

Note: Participants are not required to propose solutions. The focus is on understanding the system.
