Dear All MUIC students,

We would like to invite you to join this year’s Virtual Business Project Competition hosted by the International Business School of Suzhou at Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University (XJTLU) taking place between July 17th~August 5th, 2023.

The 2023 opportunity is focused on project-based learning with groups of students from universities around the world, collaborating on a specific project.  XJTLU has reserved 48 seats dedicated to IBSS UG students. The other 48 seats are reserved for students from IBSS international partner Universities (First come first served). No costs for students to participate and 100% Online. 

Interested students should complete the application by June 23, 2023. Please use the QR code on the poster below to register and submit your information.  

The competition is 3 weeks in length and intensive, including pre-scheduled morning sessions and likely some small group work in the evenings. During this unique program, students will be assigned to groups with other students from around the world. Each team will work on real-world projects with organizations and companies in Asia, to help identify solutions that can be implemented. All projects are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This format for the projects will support students with intercultural communication, developing teamwork skills, and understanding challenges companies face today.

Included in this experience, students will gain:

–         Practice with working in a diverse team (cross cultural teams of 6 students, with students of different nationalities and coming from different universities)

–         Academic credit may be granted by your home university

–         Learn about the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals

–         Experience with preparing of research lead solutions for a company or organization in Asia, to address a dilemma they face in moving forward.

Do note that students from a single institution will not all be on the same team/project, but rather, will be placed in multinational small groups for the duration of the program.
