Evaluation session
On-site teams present at their assigned stand or jury area. Online teams follow either document-based evaluation or a scheduled video call. The exact presentation and question period will be published in the final event timetable. Participants should be prepared to explain the problem, originality, development process, evidence, impact, limitations and next steps.

10Communication & jury response
Juries assess the project at its demonstrated stage. Ambition alone does not replace evidence, and a polished prototype does not replace originality.
Safety, ethics and intellectual property
- Projects involving humans, animals, medical claims, biological materials, hazardous chemicals, high voltage, pressure, flame, propulsion or other risks must disclose those elements and provide the required permissions.
- Unsafe live demonstrations may be restricted or replaced with video evidence.
- Participants are responsible for deciding what intellectual-property information they publicly disclose. Registration does not create patent protection.
- The organizer may reject projects that violate law, ethics, safety requirements or event values.
Results and awards
Projects are ranked through the official jury process. Awards may be assigned by score bands, category, age group or special-jury decision as announced in the final event handbook. Jury decisions are final after the formal result-control process.
