<b>Overview:</b><br>
• The project has 2.5 million Euros to invest in both innovative ideas
and projects that can benefit society/European citizens, based on
digital media (websites, mobiles apps, etc).<br><br>• 6K Euros are available just for the submission of ideas that are well
received by the “crowd”, with up to 150K Euros being offered to the best
plans to develop them into working prototypes. The funding will cover
up to 10% of the project costs. To ensure that this project funds as
wide and deserving selection of ideas and projects as possible, it is
essential that as many citizens as possible are made aware of this
opportunity.<br>
<br>• The project aims to provide an opportunity for the people who know and
suffer from the issues that this project aims to address, to suggest
solutions for the issues that plague them, their communities and Europe
in general. Furthermore, people with relevant expertise are required to
determine the projects that deserve funding. In respect of the “ideas” awards, anyone can score each idea submitted. For the larger awards,
people with a valid background in digital, social or innovation are
invited to apply for a role as a paid assessor.<br>
