Longitude Prize 2014 is a challenge with a £10 million prize fund to help solve the problem of global antibiotic resistance. It is being run by Nesta and supported by Innovate UK. The challenge has just launched and is now open to anyone to take part in. During the lead up to the launch of Longitude Prize 2014, Science Practice was lead research partner, working closely with Nesta and a group of over 100 scientists in diverse fields such as aeronautics, robotics, water processing, agriculture and medicine. James King, director of Science Practice will discuss how the team went about this task of shaping the challenge - what the goal should be and the criteria for winning - using design processes to help ask the right questions.
