Project Description
The research project CHEST – Collective enHanced Environment for Social Tasks will be integrating social media, crowdsourcing and collective intelligence techniques to support social innovation. Starting in February 2014, the CHEST Challenge will promote the generation of breakthrough ideas which promise substantial societal benefits by using modern Information Technology, carrying out two rounds of open calls for ideas which try to meet the most urgent challenges European societies face by using modern IT components.
