WHO IS CAMP FOR?
CAMP THINKTANKS
You! If you’re reading this, you’re likely to be one of 150 young innovators from China and Australia we’re looking for. If you’re aged 18 to 35, with a track-record of innovative achievement in your industry, then we want YOU as one of our CAMPers. Diversity is our key which unlocks innovation so we consciously look for the “unusual suspects” as well as those who are high achievers in a traditional sense. We have travel and diversity scholarships available too!
The 15 most popular ThinkTanks selected by applicants form our final focus areas.
Our 150 CAMPers will self-select into one of 15 different ThinkTanks, each with 5 Chinese and 5 Australian participants. ThinkTanks are based on major issues common to China and Australia as well as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
