  Students (both graduate and undergraduate) are challenged to identify and solve a Social Logistics issue.  You can sign up as an individual or as a team.  We will help you find a team (if you don't already have one) and provide support throughout the process.

Identify and define a social logistics problem in any community and propose an actionable business solution to address the problem. Social logistics involves applying logistics principles and methods to solve societal issues by considering human factors. The proposed solution should outline the involved stakeholders, and demonstrate its alignment with one or more of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Teams are encouraged to identify any technological disruptions within the problem and/or illustrate the role of technology in their solution.

• Prizes: $5,000 (first place team) and $1,000 (second and third place teams)
