Hey! With this competition, we challenge you to share your vision on what kind of disasters we might face in the next decades and how to protect, respond or adapt to future circumstances.

Participate and receive one of the 40 Scholarships of EUR 2500 each to attend the Challenge:Future Academy and Summit 2012, as well as financial support to realize their projects, internships, speaking opportunities at global events and many more valuable prizes.

What you have to do? Floods, earthquakes, bomb attacks, devastating fires, draught, extreme weather, climate change, economic collapses, these are just few of the disasters in the 21st Century. We are living in the time of increasing frequency and severity of various disasters caused by nature, technology or human.

How are we going to respond? Prepare a max 10-slide presentation giving us a clear image about a disaster that might happen and a solution related to the prevention, preparedness, response or adaptation to it that could be applicable either for individuals, businesses, communities, countries, regions or for the whole world. Your ideas can derive from existing disasters (tsunami, floods, earthquakes, bomb attacks etc.) or your imagination and vision of the future (e.G. alien attacks ?).
