The MET Fund i2i Challenge is a two-part initiative to find the world’s best ideas for improving graduate management education and then fund the top proposals to turn those ideas into active innovation.

In the Ideas Phase, the MET Fund received more than 650 concepts worldwide and awarded US$260,000 to those who came up with the top 20. Now, in the Innovation Phase, we seek proposals from schools and other education providers to implement one or more of the top ideas.

We are particularly interested in funding projects in which the results from your implementation can be shared with other schools and replicated worldwide. We will fund proposals to implement one or more of the ideas, for a total of up to US$8 million.

Proposals to bring a winning i2i Challenge idea to life are being accepted now through December 16, 2011.
