Important eligibility conflict: the FAQ requires a graduate student, while the 2027 eligibility PDF permits graduate and/or undergraduate students. Undergraduate-only teams should obtain confirmation from [email protected] before preparing an application. Official pages also mix old years and opening-time abbreviations; use the 2027 Important Dates page for the application window.
Prepare the application answers and an executive-summary PDF of up to five pages. Check the listed sector categories. Selected teams cover airfare, hotel and airport transport; the organizer covers competition meals and transport between the event and designated hotel.
