Compete in teams to find the best solutions in 5 Mission Arenas and:
The EU TalentOn call for proposals started in April. By July, experts selected at least 100 participants with the highest scores.
Until August, selected participants got to know each other better and were divided into teams to take part in workshops.
In September, teams of young scientists met in Katowice to face each other during the final-stage hackathon.
Contestants could win a share of the €75,000 prize pool!
The best teams were awarded in five areas:
Each prize was divided equally among each person in the winning team.
The Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change focuses on supporting EU regions, cities and local authorities in their efforts to build resilience against the impacts of climate change.
The Mission on Cancer focuses on improving the lives of more than 3 million people by 2030 through prevention, cure and for those affected by cancer including their families, to live longer and better.
The Mission on Restore our Ocean and Waters aims to protect and restore the health of our ocean and waters through research and innovation, citizen engagement and blue investments.
Cities play a pivotal role in achieving climate neutrality by 2050. Since climate mitigation is heavily dependent on urban action, we need to support cities in accelerating their green and digital transformation.
The main goal of the Mission A Soil Deal for Europe is to establish 100 living labs and lighthouses to lead the transition towards healthy soils by 2030.
