From 523 Nominations to a Shortlist of 164 Innovative Solutions

The nomination process spanned from May to early July 2023 and sought to identify innovative solutions from Civil Society, the Public Sector, the Business Sector, and the interdisciplinary ICT sector.
Overall, the Zero Project has received 523 nominations from 97 countries, centred around this year's theme of Inclusive Education, and ICT.

From the end of June to end of August, the peer-review process defined the Shortlist for the Awardees of the Zero Project, based on its three main criteria: innovation, impact, and scalability. The result of this peer-review process is the #ZeroCall24 Shortlist, which consists of 164 nominations from 62 countries.

Starting from late August, 2023 the Zero Project’s ecosystem and network will be given the opportunity to engage with – and vote – on the 2024 Shortlist of Innovative Solutions. Based on these votes, the Zero Project team will announce the 2024 Awardees on December 3, 2023, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
