product or process. Are you ready for the challenge?
The Challenge
All students

process) and present their ideas live in a 15-minute PowerPoint presentation to
a jury of industry and academic experts during the Croatian final. The
presentation must be accompanied by a dossier explaining the sustainability,

selected for the Croatian final based on the recorded presentation and
accompanying dossier to present to the jury, followed by some Q&A.
Who can take part?
The competition is open to all Bachelors and Masters students (+

competition, it is recommended to combine several disciplines in your team, of
which exact science should be one. Team members can come from different
