Participant Criteria

There are no age or degree requirements. This challenge is open for every ambitious mind determined to make an impact with an innovative approach to the topic, no matter if student, researcher, Startup, etc. The language of this Challenge is English, as we will be scouting internationally.

This means that all the documents, as well as the talks with tesa, will be in English. If you need information in german for a better understanding, please contact us. You are also not required to be located in a specific country as the Submission process is remote.

Remember Your participation is not binding until you submit the form, and the qualification phase ends. You can always withdraw your submission until then. After the deadline, we will count you in. If you should not be able to take part after all, just contact us, we will find a way.

 

Participation Process

 

Participate alone

You take part individually by klicking the button ‘Join now’ and then the option ‘Participate Alone’ in the following Pop Up. If you change your mind in the course of the Challenge and decide to team up, that’s not a problem. You can find out about your remaining options down below.

Participate as a Team

You already have people you want to participate with? Great! One of you has to klick the button ’Join now’ and choose ‘Found your own team’. If you have already all the members you need, ignore the last question What's the need of your team? in the Pop Up. If you are open to let new members in, fill it out so your team is open for request. Now, all of your remaining team members can request to join the team you founded in the Tab ‘Teams’. Remember they must be registered to join in. Also, every team member is equal, there is no leading position.

Important If you want to participate as a team, every team member who wants to be considered needs to be a participant.

You know you want to participate as a team up but don’t have anyone in mind to participate with? Not a problem! Under the Tab Teams you will find an overview of all the teams who are searching for members. Request to join if your skills match what they are looking for and good luck! You can apply for more than one team until you find the right one.
