Rice Cleantech Innovation Competition (RCIC)
RCIC is a student led case competition which welcomes passionate cleantech leaders from communities across the US to discuss solutions addressing a pressing issue: Greenhouse Gas Emissions. We are proud to offer a platform for students and industry professionals to learn from each other and discuss challenges and opportunities presented by decarbonization. This case competition is an opportunity for students to engage with real-world problems and provide impactful solutions that showcase critical analytical and problem-solving skills within a short period of time.
