Real Life 2027Sign up

Since 2018

The AUC Student Union’s flagship competition, built every year around a problem Egypt is actually facing.

The Union’s flagship competition

One real Egyptian problem a year, solved properly by mixed teams, in front of judges who work in the field.

  • Real problems

    A live Egyptian challenge, never a textbook case.
  • Mixed teams

    No more than two students from any one major.
  • Real judges

    Faculty and practitioners, judging to professional standards.

~500

attendees in 2024, opened by the Minister of Environment, the UNDP and the University President.
