The RELX Environmental Challenge (the “Challenge”) is a skill-based competition in which participants are asked to submit proposals outlining innovative ideas that advance access to safe water and/or sanitation where access is presently at risk.
Each year the RELX Environmental Challenge is awarded to projects that best demonstrate how they can provide sustainable access to safe water or sanitation.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicants can be individuals or organisations. They might work in the for-profit or non-profit sectors. They might be physicists, chemists, or work in business.

Be replicable, scalable and sustainable and set a benchmark for innovation
