The Stockholm Challenge 2008 programme features six category awards for ICT for development projects and a chance to win the prestigious Stockholm Challenge Trophies. The prize ceremony in the City Hall will take place during Challenge Week from May 18 - 22, 2008. An extended programme of workshops, conference, study visits and social gatherings will bring together the most inspiring ICT entrepreneurs, researchers and students from all over the world to share experiences and knowledge. The Stockholm Challenge promotes ICT for development with a six category award that invites entries from projects that use ICT to tackle the world's biggest problems. Participants present their methods and their achievements to the Challenge jury, the world and each other through the Challenge online platform. The award is open for applications from January 1st to December 31, 2007. The 2008 programme will close with Challenge Week in Stockholm in May 18-22, 2008. This five day event for the finalists has become one of the strong features of the Challenge programme. The invitation-only event is free to all finalists who constitute a community of energy, expertise and inspiration in social entrepreneurship. In May 2006 Challenge Week brought over 200 people to Stockholm to participate in workshops, a conference, study visits and the prize giving event in the City Hall.In addition to the regular awards programme, the Stockholm Challenge is collaborating with the Global Knowledge Partnership (GKP) on an extended opportunity for participants; the Stockholm Challenge GKP Awards 2007. This award is especially for those Challenge participants that are also Multi Stakeholder Partnerships (MSPs). The Stockholm Challenge GKP Awards 2007 will be presented in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the Global Knowledge III conference. Read here about the Stockholm Challenge GKP Awards 2007. |
