Last year’s Challenge showed great promise, and I believe by expanding and diversifying the pool of Solvers, Geopolitical Forecasting Challenge 2 can top it. Even if you just follow along or join an information session, there’s networking and other opportunities here, I think. For example, the data sets these teams get are not widely available.…See More
