Earthshot Prize 2024
The search for the winners of the Earthshot Prize 2024 has begun, and TU Delft is proud to be the only Dutch University to serve as an Official Nominator. Launched in 2020, The Earthshot Prize is a global environmental prize and platform for impact, dedicated to finding and growing solutions that will repair our planet this decade. One of TU Delft’s 2022 nominees – the Great Bubble Barrier – was selected as a finalist.

After nominations are submitted, they are screened as part of a rigorous assessment process culminating in selection of five winners by the Earthshot Prize Council. Finalists and winners are given an incredible platform to amplify their work, as well as tailored support from The Earthshot Prize and our network of NGOs, businesses, governments, funders and expert mentors. The five winners receive a one-of-a-kind award and a one-million-pound grant to scale their impact. The 15 finalists are given support in the Fellowship Programme - specialist coaching and support is provided by organisations from our Global Alliance of expert businesses, NGOs and philanthropists to aid our Finalists on their journey towards making a transformational impact. Starting in 2024, a funding marketplace to spotlight more solutions (outside of the 15 Finalists) will also launch.
