Good news! We’re extending the deadline for the WEP/WTI Resilience Challenge submissions, which is now December 31, 2021. We know that October and November are usually hectic for everyone in the challenge area, and we believe this will take away some of the pressure. This gives you extra time to register, create, and send in your solution.
The Women To Impact (WTI) and WEP Resilience challenge is aimed at individuals and teams from around the world with a science, engineering or technical background.
The aim is for participants to submit technology-based solutions that help local ecosystems build resilience to real-world challenges such as climate change, disasters, epidemics, food insecurity and environmental degradation.
Although under the umbrella of the Women to Impact initiative, the challenge allows entries from teams with mixed genders.
Teams and individuals simply need to:
- Register to the challenges platform
- Explore the different topics under the challenges to address
- Complete the questionnaire online with support from team members
- Once ready, submit their solutions in the platform.
Entries close on December 31, 2021, and the five top finalists will be selected on January 9, 2022.
Prizes
The top three winners will receive financial rewards of $10,000 USD, $7,000 USD and $5,000 USD, respectively, at the January 20 award ceremony.
Further, the top five nominated solutions will be invited to attend the KAUST Winter Enrichment Program virtually in January, and have the opportunity to connect with a wide array of esteemed professors and benefit from their mentorship.
Hurry up, and don’t miss the chance to make an impact!

We are looking forward to your participation.
