Q&A
Who can participate?
Every student and other entrepreneurial minds.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. The participation is for free. You only have to register first.
Where can I register?
Even if you participate with your university course, please register first. You can register here.
What should I bring along?
A lot of openness to have fun, creativity, and everything else you need to be creative. Your laptop and presentation material can help you with that.
How about the overall language during the Innovation Days?
The overall language is English. If something is unclear, or if you have questions or problems with registration, do not hesitate to ask the Innovation Days Team.
Do I need an idea before the event?
No. Create the teams on the first day of the event. The teams have to be multidisciplinary (3-5 people per group), that means, mix up with people with different backgrounds (economics, design, IT, …).
How are teams formed?
Teams are formed after the idea pitches. Each team needs to consist of four people, plus or minus one. So you can’t have less than three people in your group and not more than five. Each team needs to have at least one student from another discipline (e.g. engineer or design student if the rest of your group is business students) and one student from another institution (e.g. someone from the Stockholm School of Economics if you are from Joenkoeping University). You will learn the most and get to the best outcomes if your team is mixed.
How will the ideas be evaluated?
A jury, consisting of the company partners and representatives of partners and mentors will evaluate the ideas.
Does my idea have to fit exactly to the problem statement formulated by the company partner, or does it just have to fit into one of the categories?
The ideas just need to fit into the of the categories, but if you find a solution for the defined problem statement, you will probably gain more attraction from the corporate partner and the likelihood to win is higher as well.
Judging Criteria
Each submission will be scored in each round based on the following criteria with a minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 20 points, with the final score being the average of the judges’ scores:
- Simplicity [5 points] – Is the application simple to use and can the team explain it clearly in three sentences or less?
- Creativity [5 points] – How creative was the team in developing an innovative solution for the challenge?
- Impact [5 points] – Did the team create an application that can have a real and valuable impact?
- Design [5 points] – Was the UX/UI intuitive and appealing?
