NOVA impACT! challenges is back
The NOVA impACT! Challenges is back. Through this program, NOVA University Lisbon and Santander Bank, want to leverage the knowledge, innovation and creativity at the service of society and support the development of 10 innovative solutions, easy to implement and of global impact, to respond to the societal and environmental challenges identified in the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
During 4 weeks (11 October to 5 November), selected candidates will have access to pocket money (up to €500), workshops, specialized mentoring and University resources to develop a proof of concept/prototype, in addition to a prize money (up to €2000€) for the winning team to support the implementation of the selected ideas. We aim to find solutions for socially or environmentally relevant challenges, from promoting social inclusion and physical and mental wellbeing, to reducing social inequalities and promoting sustainable economic recovery. Solutions can range anywhere from apps and websites, to physical devices or a business plan, and must answer to at least one of the SDGs from the United Nations.
