Hi everyone,

Please see this announcement below. I was on the selection committee last year, and can fully attest to the many innovative and interesting ideas that were submitted. It's a great opportunity for anyone, even if you don't win, as you gain valuable feedback and independent advice from experts.

Best,

-Michael

The 2023 CTU Challenge portal is now open, submit your project for the challenge!     Important dates: Phase 1 submission opening: 8 May 2023 Phase 1 submission closing: 3 July 2023 New in 2023: Thanks to new partnerships, we will have some additional prizes and funding opportunities for 2023 CTU contestants. In partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the 2023 CTU Challenge will add a new prize for Best Overall Gender Inclusion Proof-of-Concept. This award will go to the Proof-of-Concept track contestant in any category (TA, BM, or CE) whose project or solution makes a significant impact or effort in closing the gender digital divide. Applicants will have an opportunity during Phases 2 and 3 of the competition to demonstrate how they have focused on gender inclusion within various KPIs, and generally. In addition to the Best Overall Gender Inclusion Proof-of-Concept, standard winners in the Proof-of-Concept track have the opportunity to be recognized by USAID for their efforts in gender inclusion and have their Challenge prize paid directly by USAID. Additionally, all Proof-of-Concept contestants who make it to Phase 3 will have the opportunity to submit an idea proposal for how they might further address the gender digital divide in the future. A select number of these proposals will receive additional prizes from USAID. In partnership with VMware and Mitacs, the 2023 CTU Challenge will add a new prize for Best Overall from Canada. In 2021, VMware, Mitacs and IEEE Future Networks partnered on Digital Equity Grid Innovation initiative in Montreal, also known as TETRA, which aims to advance applied research on sustainable grids, clean tech, and digital equity. After the 2023 CTU Challenge has concluded, all past winners of the Challenge (2021, 2022, 2023) will be invited to apply for a US$100,000 research project funded by VMware and Mitacs in conjunction with IEEE Future Networks. Applicants are not required to be based in Canada, but they would need to incorporate a business entity in Canada to receive the funding and conduct the research project. More information on eligibility and the research project expectations will be announced in the fall of 2023.
