XGENS announces a spotlight on UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 engaging with a collaborative of international academic nanotechnology centers which have focused on advancing healthcare technologies including those supporting COVID-19 vaccines and other biologics. The Nanotechnology centers generate innovative solutions to the underlying SDG targets through interdisciplinary scientific research and applied science incorporating advanced education with a focus on next generation workforce skills, effective health and public policy and critical infrastructure investment including start-ups.
Consistent with its mission to “Inspire the Next Generation of Innovators”, XGENS is focused on engaging a community of middle school through high school students, Grades 8-11, in a SDG Innovation Social Venture Impact Competition where applied Science, Humanities & Literacy serve as the catalysts. The Social Venture Competition will integrate a global stakeholder community of educators (formal and informal), business and civic leaders, and UN sanctioned NGO’s working with underserved communities.
The underlying goals will be to assemble interdisciplinary cohort teams who work together to develop cost effective solutions which can be deployed locally as well as globally that yield solutions to SDG 3 targets enabling healthier living and societies.
The competition will include three phases. One phase will include a design thinking and work plan stage leading to proposals which be evaluated, and the winners will receive opportunity awards that will be used to create both theoretical and functional prototypes. The prototypes will be judged based on prospective immediate and long term societal impact, innovation and relevance to achieving the targets of SDG3 with the selected winners receiving funding for the last phase. The third phase will yield tangible inventions that NGO’s can immediately implement positively impacting individuals and communities.
The following UN Video and SDG Partnership Guidebook will serve as inspiration to engage and become active in positively transforming the world one valuable action after another. Every innovative moment in life matters and you have the power to make a vital difference in other lives and society.
We look forward to hearing from you.
