The Seeker is looking for computationally oriented Solvers from a diverse set of fields to engage in the analysis of a large dataset. As a part of this Challenge, InnoCentive has deployed a Solution Test Tool called the Prodigy that provides rapid feedback to Solvers and displays the performance of the top performing Solvers found since the Challenge has been posted. Solvers are encouraged to open a project room and engage in this exciting computational competition in which innovation trumps experience and proven creativity will benefit Solvers tremendously.
Team-based Proposals
We value the diverse nature of the Solvers in our Network, and are now encouraging you to strengthen your Proposals by recruiting team members to work on this Challenge. Past experience shows that collaborating with multi-disciplinary colleagues and submitting Proposals as a team can truly yield great results.
To support team collaboration, we have added new functionality called a "Team Project Room". A Team Project Room is a secure online workspace that allows a group of Solvers to securely collaborate and solve an InnoCentive Challenge. Team Project Room functionality will only be available for selected Challenges. By encouraging Solvers to work together, we believe that the quality and quantity of solutions to more complex or multidisciplinary Challenges will be improved. If you want to read more about Team Project Rooms, click here.
Here’s how to do it.
- Find team members and have them register for a Solver account on InnoCentive.com
- Once they have registered, click here to start the team formation process.
All inquiries will be responded to within 1 business day. We look forward to seeing your teams collaborate in our new work environment, and would greatly appreciate any feedback.
InnoCentive is the global innovation marketplace where creative minds solve some of the world's most important problems for cash awards up to $1 million. Commercial, governmental and humanitarian organizations engage with InnoCentive to solve problems that can impact humankind in areas ranging from the environment to medical advancements.
An InnoCentive RTP (Reduction to Practice) Challenge is a prototype that proves an idea, and is similar to an InnoCentive Theoretical Challenge in its high level of detail. However, an RTP requires the Solver to submit a validated solution, either in the form of original data or a physical sample. Also the Seeker is allowed to test the proposed solution.
Exclusive rights to the Intellectual Property are always transferred to the Seeker in an RTP Challenge.
