The Longitude Committee
About the Longitude Committee
The Longitude Committee is a group of experts from across the scientific, clinical and industrial world who support Longitude Prizes.
What is the Longitude Prize?
The Longitude Prize has a rich history and may be the first challenge prize to exist. The Longitude Act, issued on July 8, 1714, offered up £20,000 prize (about £1.5m today) for a practical and useful method to determine longitude to an accuracy of half a degree.
It has since evolved to tackle more of the world’s greatest problems.
