Contest Organization

Students are invited to propose disruptive ideas in the first phase of the contest in a simple 2 pages format describing briefly the Status quo to be changed, the Existing ideas that are not working and an innovative proposal that will make a difference?

The best ideas will  be selected to reach the semi-finals and will then be given the opportunity to attract more collaborators, to fuse and rearrange with other relevant projects, and will get constructive feedback from experts and time to develop further. At this stage the ideas should be clearly outlined in 10 pages maximum.

The teams proposing the best proposals will be invited to the final to meet in Paris in the fall of 2012 to present their ideas in front of a jury of international experts.

The winners of the contest will gain the right to develop their project further in one of the leading labs in the world that will help them reach the next stage of their development.

This multi-step process will allow every idea to be heard and the best ones to be refined progressively  with the help of world leaders.
