Challenge: Upgradeable sensors to rapidly detect chemical and biological hazards

Experts are invited to apply for the latest HMGCC Co-Creation challenge to develop the next generation of sensors to protect against chemical and biological hazards.

Early detection of chemical and biological hazards is the most effective way to limit harm and enact a proportionate response to protect lives and assets.

This 12 week funded challenge  seeks to develop a novel sensor that can be deployed in any environment, providing rapid and early sensing of any chemical and biological hazard as part of a wider networked sensing capability.

The challenge is open until 23 July 2026. To find out more see: Upgradeable sensors to rapidly detect chemical and biological hazards
