Individuals, institutions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or other entities are invited to apply for the 2020 UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the use of ICT in education. This year’s theme is “the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the continuity and quality of learning”. The Prize will award US $25,000 each to two innovative projects leveraging new technologies to expand educational opportunities. Special attention will be given to projects that provide access to education in remote areas or aim to improve the availability and affordability of connectivity for education and learning. The deadline for submissions is 18 December, 2020 (midnight, Paris time), and the Prize will be awarded in April 2021. All projects should be nominated by a National Commission for UNESCO or an NGO in official partnership with UNESCO. Note that self-nominations will not be accepted.
