On May 3rd and 4th, twelve student teams presented their project proposals to the IT Innovation Challenges Panel which had the difficult task to decide which of the projects were to be funded as part of this year’s student round.

The quality of the proposals and the presentations was very high this year, and the Panel was impressed and inspired by the presenters. At the end of two intense days, the Panel was happy to offer eight projects funding. Some of the offers came with some kind of condition, or request for modification, for example a suggestion that a stronger focus was put on a particular aspect of a project or that the budget or time plan was revised. We will be publishing a list of the successful projects once they have accepted the offer of funding.
