The New Longitude Prize



The groups took turns recording each other asking what they wanted the new Longitude prize (worth £10 million) to be for and why. They were given a list and had to choose from:
  • Flight - How can we fly without damaging the environment?
  • Food - How can we ensure everyone has nutritious sustainable food?
  • Antibiotics - How can we prevent the rise of resistance to antibiotics?
  • Paralysis - How can we restore movement to those with paralysis?
  • Water - How can we ensure everyone has access to safe and clean water?
  • Dementia - How can we help people with dementia to live independently for longer?
