The Trinity Challenge is now open for final submissions

Updated 3rd June 2021

London, UK, 24 February 2021: The Trinity Challenge, launched by Dame Sally Davies in September 2020, is excited to announce that we are now open for submissions to the inaugural round of our public Challenge. Winners could be awarded part of a prize pot of up to £6M towards their solutions to some of the world’s most pressing pandemic problems.

Since our launch in September, we have received a high level of interest, with individuals and organisations from across sectors and geographies, eager to connect with our Members, form teams, and work on solutions for our public Challenge. We are now accepting final submissions, which will be reviewed by our expert panel of reviewers and judges, who represent a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds.

The Trinity Challenge seeks solutions that use data and analytics to better identify, respond to, or recover from health emergencies, covering economics, behavioural sciences, epidemiology and many other disciplines. 

• Identify: determine and limit diseases and the risks they pose to communities.
• Respond: decrease transmission and spread by identifying measures that are effective, equitable, and affordable.
• Recover: improve the resilience of health and economic systems, and address the disproportionate impacts of outbreaks and pandemics, particularly on vulnerable groups.

We are excited to be partnering with MIT Solve to deliver our inaugural Challenge. MIT Solve has a strong track record of hosting open innovation challenges for social impact on their award-winning platform.

The portal for submissions has been officially opened at our Town Hall event, on February 24th. Information on how to submit a solution, or more generally on our Challenge processes, is available at the submission platform (https://solve.mit.edu/challenges/the-trinity-challenge). We also welcome questions at info[at]thetrinitychallenge.com

We are looking forward to receiving your solutions!
