TE Challenge

Community

The purpose of this page is to allow visitors and participants to see what teams are doing and how you might be involved. We expect that as you review the overviews of participant teams and their plans, you may consider how to cooperate with an existing team or start a new team. Comments and ideas are all welcome.

Phase II Project Teams

Phase II officially launched on April 20 and Phase II teams will be updated as they join or are formed. Organizations may participate in more than one team. Collaborators may be welcome to join an existing team.

Participants

A participating organization is one that has joined (communicated required information via the Join page, and also participating in some team effort). Participant names are followed by short summaries of participant interests in the Challenge, and pdf links (when available) introduce the organization ideas and experience relative to the Challenge. Perhaps there is another organization with interests similar to yours and a team effort can be formed around that mutual interest to advance TE and the goals of the TE Challenge.
