10. Election of the winners
All the teams will present their projects to a jury. The duration of the presentation will be informed by the organizers before the event.
The evaluation criteria of the project will be focused on the following points:
- Relevance of the technology use or data from the space sector. The failure to fulfil this requirement will mean the elimination of the event.
- Viability and expertise of the solution from a technical point of view.
- Viability and expertise of the solution from an economic point of view.
- Innovation level of the product.
- Impact and expected benefits of the project (relevance for the main technological and/or social needs).
These criteria will be evaluated from 1 (min) to 5 (max).
The solution must not infringe the Copyright or the Intellectual Property rights of third parts. If this criterion is not fulfilled, the team will be eliminated.
These criteria will be evaluated confidentially and discretionally by a panel of qualified juries nominated by the organizers. The criteria of the evaluation procedure will be detailed during the presentation of the competition.
Generally, all the members of the jury will have to evaluate all the described items and the final punctuation will be the sum of each of them.
However, it will be allowed to the members of the panel to opt to avoid evaluating one of the criteria due to a lack of knowledge on the topic as long as every criterion is covered by at least 2 professionals.
In this case, the different results obtained for each criterion will be averaged and the final result will be given by the sum of the 5 categories.
At the end of the presentation of the projects, the panel will meet to designate the two winners of the competition.
There will be two winners referred to two (2) categories, with a first classified prize per each:
- Absolute category: where all the teams will compete
- EUROAVIA category: where only the teams with EUROAVIA members will compete. If the winner of the absolute category is a team that also competes in the EUROAVIA category, the prize would be assigned to the following EUROAVIA team in the clasification.
The participants acknowledge that there will not be any appeal in the constitution or the decision of the panel and that the deliberations of the panel are confidential and will not be revealed to the participants.
