Cambridge Consultants’ Code for Good Scholarships

Applications are open for the Cambridge Consultants’ Code for Good Scholarship Programme as well as participating in the One Young World Summit 2019. Scholarship recipients will receive remote mentoring, an intensive two-week residency at our Cambridge (UK) headquarters and support in developing their innovations.

Cambridge Consultants is a world leader in disruptive innovation and technology-based consulting. Established in 1960, our world-class engineers, designers, scientists, and consultants solve the world’s most complex engineering, technology and design problems to deliver world-firsts.

Through six decades of innovation, we have demonstrated the power of technology to solve complex problems at scale. This year we’re excited to partner with One Young World to identify and support young leaders who share our belief in the power of technology to alleviate suffering and empower a new generation.

The Cambridge Consultants’ Scholarship has been established to support young people who want to apply technology to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Applications using data analysis, artificial intelligence, language processing, novel designs for Human Interaction or similar fields are particularly interesting to us. Your innovation can be wholly software or some large product or service where software is just one of the important parts.
