Empower the next generation to solve the world’s toughest challenges.

​

Open Ideas Lab brings together students (ages 8–17) and leading scientists to tackle real-world problems across climate, health, space, and science.

​

We invite forward-thinking organisations to go beyond traditional CSR—by adopting challenges, mentoring young innovators, and sponsoring breakthrough ideas.

​​​

​​​1. Adopt a Challenge

​

Align your CSR priorities with one of our global challenges contributed by leading scientists.

Your organisation becomes the official partner of that challenge.

​

• Brand visibility on the challenge page

• Recognition as the “Challenge Sponsor”

• Alignment with a cause that reflects your values

​

2. Mentor & Evaluate

​

Engage your teams in meaningful ways:

​

• Join evaluation panels to review student ideas

• Provide mentorship to shortlisted teams

• Enable employee volunteering with purpose

​

This is a unique opportunity for your employees to give back using their expertise.

​

3. Sponsor Breakthrough Ideas

​

Once top ideas are shortlisted and supported by scientists:

​

• Get access to curated, high-potential solutions

• Sponsor ideas through prototype / proof-of-concept stages

• Host “Build Days” or “Innovation Sprints” inside your organisation

• Help bring student innovations to life​

​

Recognition & Visibility
