The Hult Prize is an internationally known competition that challenges youth to solve the world's most pressing problems through social entrepreneurship.
A total of 24 students, including 14 from Kyushu University, participated in the program. The students communicated with each other in English, and deepened their learning and exchange. On the last day, December 7, Professor Lauwereyns gave a COIL from NTU. After COIL ended, some teams continued to be formed to apply for the Hult Award, which developed into a learning experience that went beyond the classroom.
