Enabling institutions to push beyond academic challenges!
A first-of-its-kind platform enabling knowledge exchange for universities globally.
What is Institutional Access (IA)?
IA is designed to allow students to participate in larger groups, along with mentor(s), to solve some of the most challenging problems across the globe, thus, expanding their reach beyond the studio.
World-class design challenges
IA offers a chance to push beyond limited classroom environments and work on anything from real to idea-based problems on the global level.
Gain international industry experience
As the gaps between the borders reduce, the design is no more a local profession. Problems like these propel your work from local to global.
Exchange ideas & inspiration
Gauge your skills on an international level. Get engaged in discussions with our designer community from all across the globe.
Flexible participation modes
Institutional access gives an exclusive right to participate in a group or as an individual for up to 15 entries from your institution.
How it works?
Book your spot
Registration process for Institutional Access is similar to individual/ team registration. Registration should ideally be done by the mentor on behalf of entire class. You will receive a confirmation upon registration.
Add entries for the competition
Mentor can add up to 15 entries across one or more competitions on UNI. Students can create projects from their account and invite mentors to their team. Mentor can then review the published project and submit them to the respective registered entries.
Meet your partner institution
As soon as we match you with your partner institution, you will get notified and we will open a discussion channel between all the participating members. Everyone can discuss ideas and exchange resources related to the competition. Faculty members/mentors can explore the entry of their partner institutions and evaluate other entries as well.
Achievement and Awards
Once the competition period is over, we declare the result openly with one winner for every institutional access and an international winner of the competition.
