UNESCO organizează concursul sub egida Deceniului internațional al științelor pentru dezvoltare durabilă (IDSSD), ca parte a proiectului UNESCO-UNITRAIN de dezvoltare a competențelor tinerilor (proiectul YCD UNESCO).
Concursul IIDA își propune să prezinte și să promoveze proiecte și propuneri inovatoare și durabile din partea tinerilor talentați din întreaga lume.
IDSSD reprezintă o oportunitate unică pentru umanitate de a valorifica întregul potențial al științei în urmărirea dezvoltării durabile și asigurarea unui viitor sigur și prosper pentru toți. În calitate de agenție principală pentru IDSSD, UNESCO se angajează să încurajeze implicarea tinerilor și entuziasmul pentru participare.
În acest context, UNESCO a inițiat Concursul IIDA 2024 pentru a implica și responsabiliza tinerii, încurajându-i să își folosească creativitatea și abilitățile inovatoare pentru a aborda rolul științei în atingerea Obiectivelor de Dezvoltare Durabilă (ODD). Concursul IIDA 2024 se aliniază viziunii și misiunii IDSSD de a construi o cultură a științei, punând accentul pe alfabetizarea științifică, cunoștințele științifice utile, științele fundamentale, știința deschisă și sistemele naționale de inovare.
Tinerii designeri și inovatori aspiranți sunt invitați să participe la acest concurs.
Cererea este deschisă echipelor formate din până la 5 tineri, cu vârste cuprinse între 16 și 35 de ani, inclusiv studenților din licee și universități, precum și cercetătorilor, oamenilor de știință și inginerilor aflați la începutul carierei, cu accent pe egalitatea de gen. Cererea de candidaturi IIDA este deja deschisă, iar candidaturile trebuie să fie primite până la 13 octombrie 2024.
Aplicațiile eligibile vor fi examinate de un juriu, iar câștigătorii vor fi anunțați la sfârșitul lunii octombrie 2024 pe site-ul UNESCO.
Echipa câștigătoare va primi certificate din partea UNESCO, iar proiectele lor vor fi prezentate ca materiale promoționale cheie în cadrul evenimentelor și activităților globale IDSSD.
