[IIGB_All] Global Challenge

[Dominica Adriana Albitre]

Greeting,

Kaust (King Abdullah University) in Saudi Arabia has recently launched a Global Challenge about “Building Resilience”: They are looking for technology-based solutions that help build resilience in local ecosystems facing rising challenges such as climate change, disasters, epidemics, food insecurity, and environmental degradation.



As of today, they are accepting proposals under four tracks:

1. Health

2. Environment

3. Food, Water, and Energy

4. Digital, Connectivity, and Cybersecurity



The challenge is opened globally to individuals or teams (with scientific, engineering, or technical background) interested in building resilience through technology-based solutions. WTI, supporting diversity and inclusion, encourages women to participate and to demonstrate their potential!



For more information, please visit the challenge platform<http://wti-sod.kaust.edu.sa/>.



They would appreciate it if you could help them to spread the word about this challenge to your audience/communities/members through your social media, mailing distribution lists, newsletter, etc... Kindly find below the official challenge announcement on our social media for you to follow us and to repost.
