EFSA launches a crowdfunding challenge to find a tool extracting data from scientific literature

EFSA is funding a new crowdsourcing challenge to find a tool that will help its scientists extract data from literature relating to plant and animal health.

A prize fund of $60,000 is available to the winning solver(s). The deadline for submissions is 2 September 2019.
