With new world- changing ideas at the forefront of everybody’s mind, this project aims to harness fresh thinkers in creating new methods in order further maximise the futures potential along with creating “policy- and decision-makers so that they can respond to the complex political, environmental, and economic challenges of today.”
Entrants will be asked to complete a potential future scenario along with a solution to the event occurring, for example "the impact of political, economic, societal, legal, or environmental trends on developments in science and technology e.g. A conflict in Eastern Europe which causes restrictions in energy supply leads to a new ‘space race’ in clean energy development”, or “The impact of developments in science and technology on political, economic, societal, legal, or environmental developments. e.g., Targeted news algorithms lead to erosion of trust in democracy and unrest in the United States.”
