MIT’s 2017 Solve competition will have four new tracks: Youth, Skills, and the Workforce of the Future; Sustainable Urban Communities; Women and Technology; and Brain Health.
The costs of diminished brain productivity, the challenge brief says, “amounts to more than 10 billion lost days of work globally per year, or about $1 trillion USD in lost economic output — not including the cost of treatment.”
The competition is in its third year; entries last year tackled refugee education, carbon emissions and disease.
The deadline for applications is August 1.
