The Schuman Challenge is an annual foreign affairs contest for undergraduate students in the United States to present and defend transatlantic policy initiatives before transatlantic experts. Organized by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States, teams of three undergraduates led by a faculty mentor compete on a different theme each year. Senior EU and US diplomats, famous reporters and think tank leaders judge the competition. The competition is typically held in the spring in Washington, D.C. with the topic announced at the beginning of the year.
The Weiser Diplomacy Center (WDC) nominates a group of Ford School/U-M undergraduate students to participate in the Schuman Challenge, and represent U-M at the competition in Washington, D.C. For more information about competition themes, please visit the E.U. Delegation website.
