MIT's Solve initiative hunts for remedies to the worldwide issues it posed back in 2017
The Solve initiative at MIT is a unique platform that brings together problem-solvers from around the world to address some of the most pressing global issues. This year, the focus is on four new challenges: Brain Health, Sustainable Urban Communities, Women and Technology, and Youth, Skills, and the Workforce of the Future.
Anyone, regardless of location, is invited to apply for participation in the Solve program. The program does not specify the number of solutions it will select, preferring to keep the selection process open and flexible. The criteria for identifying the best solutions remain undisclosed, adding an element of mystery to the selection process.
Once selected, solutions are mentored by a community of leaders. However, the identities of these leaders or representatives for the 2017 Solve Global Challenges solutions in the named categories could not be found in the available search results.
The Solve program is more than just a platform for ideas. It aims to foster a community of leaders, providing them with resources, expertise, mentorship, and know-how. The goal is to pilot, scale, and implement the selected solutions effectively.
Applications for individuals who have a solution to any of the Solve 2017 challenges are due on August 1. Yet, the program does not reveal the resources it provides for solution implementation or the timeline for the implementation process.
It's important to note that the Solve program is not limited to individuals with solutions for specific Solve 2017 challenges. If you have a solution that could contribute to any of the four global challenges, you are encouraged to apply.
In essence, the Solve program is a beacon of hope, a testament to the power of collective intelligence and collaboration in addressing global issues. By inviting anyone from anywhere to apply, Solve is not just solving problems; it's empowering individuals to become part of the solution.
