Map the System Competition

CU Boulder is delighted to participate in this year’s Map the System Competition, hosted by the Skoll Centre at the University of Oxford.

Who is Map the System for?

Map the System is for CU Boulder students who have an interest in social or environmental issues and want to learn more about a problem that matters to them. The purpose of the competition is to promote a systems-thinking approach to tackling social and/or environmental challenges.
