Eligibility: To apply, you must be at least 18 years old and an actively-enrolled student at the college or graduate level. You must also be based in a country in which Data Studio is available.

Google Cloud Visualize 2030

In collaboration with the World Bank, the United Nations Foundation, and the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, Google Cloud is hosting a data storytelling contest called Visualize 2030.

Tell a data story. Visualize a better world.

If you’re a college or graduate student, this is your chance to make an impact on the global community.

The 2030 Agenda

From ending poverty to preserving biodiversity, The 2030 Agenda is made up of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that define a plan of action for people, planet, and prosperity. These goals seek to meaningfully transform three critical areas: ending poverty, helping society, and preserving the environment.

The challenge

Tell a data-driven story that reveals how at least two SDGs influence each other and what actions might be taken in order to reach those goals by 2030.

To participate in the contest, you must use data from at least one of the newly available BigQuery public datasets provided by the UN Statistics Division and the World Bank. Any outside datasets will not be considered and will result in your application being disqualified.

You will be able to access the datasets directly through Google Data Studio, a free service for analysis, visualization, and reporting. You must use Data Studio to visualize the data and create your data story.

The reward

The top five eligible submissions will receive:

• $10,000 (USD) cash prize
• Announcement during the
• UN World Data Forum
• Publication by Google Cloud

See what makes a winning story

• Data first: Start with the data. Approach it as a scientist would: observe, hypothesize, and test your hypothesis against the data. The data should dictate the visualization, not the other way around.
• Narrative arc: Build a narrative framework around your findings. What is the exposition? The rising action? The climax? And finally, propose a solution that may help achieve two or more of the SDGs by 2030.
• Interactivity: Invite audiences to engage with your data story and ask their own questions of the data. This adds a sense of discovery to the interrelated threads and findings.
• Design language: Maintain a unique look and feel throughout your work. Make font, size, alignment, and color purposeful. Ensure that the design guides your audience along with your narrative arc.
• Accessibility: Ensure access to your insights by designing your data story with a global audience in mind. In order to achieve the 2030 Agenda, your visualizations and story need to be easily understood by all.

Two awards will be granted, and each recipient will receive a monetary award of US$ 25,000 during the Award Ceremony at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.

About the prize

For the past years, the Prize has been promoting the use of new technologies to expand educational opportunities and increase access to quality education for vulnerable groups impeded by cultural and economic barriers, personal disabilities, gender inequalities, and/or crisis-affected situations.

Indeed, ICT has a great potential to enable cost-efficient solutions to address these barriers, so that everyone can fully enjoy their right to education.

Who should apply?

The theme of the 2018 edition of the Prize is ‘The use of innovative ICT to ensure education for the most vulnerable groups’.

It will reward projects that leverage innovative technologies to deliver quality education for excluded vulnerable groups, including out-of-school children, illiterate or under-skilled youth and adults who suffer from cultural and economic barriers, personal disabilities, gender-based barriers and/or crises.

Projects that use integrated ICT solutions that blend commonly used technology with frontier ICT applications to increase access to education are particularly encouraged to apply.

The use of innovative ICT to ensure education for the most vulnerable groups

This year the Prize will highlight projects that use integrated solutions that blend commonly used technology with frontier ICT applications, such as:

• breakthrough technology to overcome infrastructure barriers

• intelligent learning management systems
• machine translation
• big data
• imagery technology

Individuals, institutions and non-governmental organizations are invited to approach the National Commissions for UNESCO of their countries or NGOs in official partnerships with UNESCO and complete the online submission form.

Eligibility: ETH Grant applications typically involve a single or two ETH Zurich Principal Investigators (PI) and are primarily intended to support graduate student projects. Collaborative proposals that generate an added value are particularly welcome. Larger interdisciplinary proposals involving several ETH Zurich groups are also eligible for consideration
Location: Zurich, Switzerland

ETH Zurich Research Grants 2018

ETH Zurich promotes world-class research that may result in fundamental new knowledge or technologies via a competitive internal Research Grant Program.

In the focus of the funding program are grant applications that venture into yet uncharted territory and involve highly creative and original as well as high-risk approaches with the potential for exciting new discoveries in all disciplines represented at the ETH Zurich.

ETH Zurich Research Grants should not be the primary and certainly not the only source of research funding for any ETH Zurich group. Rather, they should be a source of seed funding for step-out projects with high visibility and impact.

Who should apply?

Grant applications that involve scientifically sound but relatively generic investigations complementing ongoing work in the PI’s laboratory are automatically assigned low priority.

These grants are primarily intended to support highly innovative graduate student projects involving a single or two ETH Principal Investigators.

Collaborations between colleagues that generate an added value are particularly welcome. Larger, interdisciplinary proposals involving several ETH Zurich groups and with a clear scientific added value with respect to the combined contributions are also eligible for consideration.

Why apply?

The typical ETH Grant will comprise one doctoral student with funding for the salary and for material costs, including travel to a scientific congress for the doctoral student.

Requests for more than one doctoral student per Principal Investigator need to be well justified. Post-doctoral research positions will be funded only exceptionally.

The maximum funding level for a project requesting support for a single ETH Zurich research group is CHF 500’000 over 3 years. Funding for interdisciplinary endeavors involving two or more ETH research groups is limited to a maximum of CHF 1’500’000 per project.
