\"Hasler<\/a>The Hasler Foundation is inviting interested parties in Switzerland to design a grand challenge in the area where the foundation has its mission, namely information and communications technology. They are not asking parties to provide the solutions yet, just the challenge. If a party’s grand challenge is selected, they can still participate.
\nThe grand challenge must be simply posed, inspirational, and easily demonstrable to a wide variety of audiences. It should have a well defined measurable and verifiable goal.<\/p>\n

It must also demonstrate one or more technological breakthroughs in its solution that have promise to impact an entire field of research in the future.
\nThe Hasler Foundation plans to award a prize of CHF 50’000 to the best idea that then can be put out to the Swiss ICT research community as a grand challenge to solve in the years to come.<\/p>\n

The submission deadline is March 31, 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n
