Over the next couple of weeks, the GDAC team will be in contact with all the winners so that the comments from the juries are considered in the fine-tuning (of the 1st prize winners) and scale-down (for the 2nd and 3rd prize winners). Simultaneously, the winners and GDN will work together to identify advisors for each winner, and secure them ahead of the signature of the grant agreements with each winner.
We congratulate all winners and look forward to supporting them throughout the implementation (and revision) of their projects!
