In August of 2023 EFF announced the Tor University Challenge, a campaign to get more universities around the world to operate Tor relays. The primary goal of this campaign is to strengthen the Tor network by creating more high bandwidth and reliable Tor nodes. We hope this will also make the Tor network more resilient to censorship since any country or smaller network cutting off access to Tor means it would be also cutting itself off from a large swath of universities, academic knowledge, and collaborations.
If you have already started a relay at your university, and want help or a prize LET US KNOW.
We started the campaign with thirteen institutions:

- University of Cambridge (England)

- Georgetown University (US)
- Johannes Kepler Universität Linz (Austria)
- Karlstad University (Sweden)
- KU Leuven (Belgium)
- University of Michigan (US)
- University of Minnesota (US)
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology (US)
- University of Waterloo (Canada)
People at each of these institutions have been running Tor relays for over a year and are contributing significantly to the Tor network.
Since August, we’ve spent much of our time discovering and making contact with existing relays. People at these institutions were already accomplishing the campaign goals, but hadn’t made it into the launch:
- University of North Carolina (US)
- Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Mexico)
- University of the Philippines (Philippines)
- University of Bremen (Germany)
- University of Twente (Netherlands)
- Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Ger
