For two inspiring days, multiple generations of the world’s most gifted innovators will come together to collaborate on developing science and technological solutions for the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the lead-up to this groundbreaking event, 50 multinational teams of exceptional high school students will work together online—under the guidance of leading experts—to develop practical, real-world solutions to address the extraordinary challenge encompassed in the SDGs: creating a sustainable planet by 2030. Then, on May 8th and 9th the teams and their mentors will meet in person for the first time to present their proposals to some of the world’s most brilliant problem-solvers, including Nobel Laureates, honorees of the Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists, notable entrepreneurs, and leaders from industry, government and non-governmental organizations.
The Academy is seeking visionary organizations to participate in and support this extraordinary event. To learn more, please contact:
