The top team this year was an exceptional group from a high school in Alaska that demonstrated leading edge scientific research along with the technology to collect, analyse and visualise that data in real time (€1000). Their amazing work on Global Earthquake Forecast System (GEFS) is a real inspiration for all and great example of how empowering our future generations is key for helping us find solutions for global societal challenges. http://www.edlinesites.net/pages/America_Bridge_Project/Europa_Challenge The second place team was led by Computer Science Professor Jim Miller of Kansas University (€500). http://people.eecs.ku.edu/~miller/WorldWindProjects/lidar/EuropaChallenge/EuropaChallengeNotes.html The third place team was led by Computer Science Professor Jing Li at the University of Denver (€500). http://geovizcloud.github.io/GeoVizCloud/ This global challenge has a singular purpose, provide the opportunity for the world's *best and brightest* to deliver sustainable solutions to the world community. These teams have done this and done it well... Our thanks to all the mentors and students for their efforts. We are especially pleased to see the synergies of bringing together three like minded organisations (OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS) on our joint education mission.
