Description of the event
In the first HERÄÄMÖ of 2021 we will explore collaboration around challenge prizes. As guest speakers we welcome Dr Amy Kaminski (NASA) and researchers who have worked on the Ratkaisu 100 challenge prize: Dr Emma Nordbäck (Hanken School of Economics) and Dr Ville Takala (University College London). Join the event to hear more and discuss challenge prizes as a method for addressing societal issues!
The event will be organised at 17–19 (UTC+2). As usual, there will be a chance to discuss and exchange thoughts with other participants. However, we encourage all levels of participation: if chatting feels heavy for you after a full working day, sit back, relax and focus on listening.
The event will be organised in Zoom. In addition, we will stream the event live on Sitra’s YouTube channel. The language of the event is English.
Sitra has released an assessment of the impact of its challenge prize Ratkaisu 100 containing insights on how prize programmes can better prepare teams for long-range impact. Here is link to the new report: The impact of challenge prize “Ratkaisu 100” three years on.

What is HERÄÄMÖ?
Heräämö is Sitra Lab’s breakfast series in which we create shared understanding of how we might tackle wicked problems with leading experts in the field. The HERÄÄMÖ events are not only lectures but also contain interactive elements where you can network with other participants and share your own thoughts on the subject. The events are open to all who wish to broaden their horizons in relation to positive societal change and who want to network with others engaged with similar topics.
