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!
EU TalentOn 2024 is a competition for young scientists (21-35 years old) from European countries and countries associated with the Horizon Europe Programme. The idea is to encourage you to propose new, creative solutions to the world's most pressing problems.
About 125 participants will work in 3/4/5-person groups to create a proposal in one of 5 scientific areas (which correspond to the 5 EU Missions in Horizon Europe and are called the 5 Mission Arenas). 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.
All detailed information and the application form can be found on the website of EU TalentOn 2024.
Time to register is till July 7, 2024.
