The Rice 360° Ninth Annual Undergraduate Global Health Technologies Design Competition will be held on Friday, March 29, 2019, in the Bioscience Research Collaborative Auditorium at Rice University. The competition will feature over 20 student teams from national and international universities who will present their low-cost global health technologies.

“This is an incredible opportunity for the student teams, but also for VIA,” said Noah. “I am thrilled to be hearing from and, more importantly, learning from the student teams. Their passion for addressing global health challenges by using health technology innovation to overcome those challenges is inspiring, and the industry needs all of their passion and innovation.”
