Entries open – how will you solve this year’s wicked problem?
Flex your creative thinking muscles and help revolutionise disaster resilience across Australia.
We’re looking for the best and brightest early career researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students from across Australia to innovate the way we respond to bushfires, floods, storms, cyclones and other natural hazards.
The wicked problem
How can we innovate our infrastructure – physical, social, green and other types of infrastructure, community and place to enable effective and affordable community-led place-based disaster resilience? This could be at any scale, for local communities, local government authorities, state government or national.
If this sounds like you, the Disaster Challenge and Australia’s emergency management sector want to hear from you. (no prior disaster experience or knowledge needed!)
With a national final and prizes, what can you and bring that is new, exciting, bold and will make a real difference in the lives of Australian communities?
