Fully Funded 2018 GCSP Prize in Switzerland has opened the application. Geneva Center For Security Policy (GCSP) and its Geopolitics and Global Futures Programme are now accepting applications for the 2018 GCSP Prize for Innovation in Global Security. The prize is designed to reach across all relevant disciplines and fields. It seeks to reward the most inspiring, innovative and ground-breaking contribution of the year, whether this comes in the form of an initiative, invention, research publication, or organization.

Prizes

The prize consists of a cash award of CHF 10’000.

It is part of the Centre’s Creativity and Innovation Initiative and is meant to stimulate forward-thinking and creative solutions to current issues in international security.
