The contest is funded by the European Union from the Horizon Europe programme and will be the flagship event as a part of the celebration of the European City of Science Katowice 2024.

Recruitment for the competition is ongoing!

The proposals need to be scientific, creative, feasible, and convincing: the idea is to encourage a flow of fresh, interdisciplinary ideas, including input from all areas of science and humanities.

5 Mission Arenas:

Adaptation to Climate Change
Cancer Prevention and Care
Restore our Ocean and Water
100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities
A Soil Deal for Europe

The total value of the prizes is 75 000 EUR.
