What is SMART?

SATU Mobility Action for Regional Talent (SMART) is a student mobility campaign introduced in 2019 by the SATU Presidents’ Forum to promote cultural competence & cross-border cooperation among students in our member universities. In addition to cross-cultural exposure, innovations and entrepreneurialism are also emphases of the event. The participating students are from a wide range of disciplines, and they come together to propose innovative ideas that promote the United Nations SDGs. They are working hard, and we want to give them the best experience we can, part of which involves having a diverse collection of judges.
