At Grand Challenge, we are committed to maintaining and continuously enhancing our platform to serve the research community effectively. Therefore, we ask organizers of challenges to contribute towards both the costs associated with running the challenge as well as the open-source development of the platform.
Base Contribution (€6000)
+
Capacity Reservation (variable)
The base contribution of 6000 Euros covers a maximum of 1000 Euros in compute and storage and is further used to fund platform maintenance, development and support to keep your challenge running both short and long-term.
The capacity reservation covers compute power and storage space beyond the 1000 Euros included in the base contribution. You can purchase extra capacity in steps of 500 Euros. The necessary capacity reservation is estimated and discussed with you during the challenge request review process and will be invoiced up-front.
Capacity reservations are non-refundable and expire in the same calendar year as the date of issue of the invoice.
If a challenge exceeds their capacity reservation, we generate a second invoice for the additionally incurred compute and storage costs after the challenge has ended. The additional costs are rounded up to the nearest 250 Euros.
Unleash the full potential of your medical imaging AI challenge with Grand Challenge.

We realize that a lot of our users are academics and might have limited funding available. We are open to long-term partnerships with academic institutions, research groups, and other organizations, e.g., conferences, interested in using grand-challenge.org to run challenges, to jointly further develop and maintain grand-challenge.org. Contact us to discuss the options.
