COMPETITION

The organising committee of the two-day event, “Smart Internet of Things for Energy Systems”, intends to promote the innovative ideas/solutions in the field of telecommunications, IoT and Energy Systems. At the end of the competition, the teams will present their solutions in 15 minutes, in English, to the competent committee. The teams will be evaluated based on the evaluation criterias that the judges have set and also the topics of the competitions are up to them.

The three best teams will be chosen, with their presentations recorded, and will be sent to regional level to global evaluators, industry experts and IEEE Region 8 volunteers. The finals will be carried out in a high level international IEEE event, such as the IEEE Region 8 Student and Young Professionals congress or the Rising Stars congress and possibly apart from IEEE the Web Summit or Wolves Summit.

Finally, we intend to emphasize the most important chance that IEEE is giving to start-ups: to be a global network of technology experts now complemented by the perception of available business experts.

The right to participate in the competition is granted to those who:

• have completed the 18th year of their age
