On the first day, three parallel so-called “room sub-competitions” are held, involving all 18 competing students from the six aforementioned partner universities of the Project. From each room’s group of six, the two top-ranked students advance to the next stage and earn the right to compete the following day in the final round, where the overall winner and the other two prize-winners will be determined. In both the first day’s qualifying round and the second day’s final, the competitions are conducted using real “scenarios” selected jointly with business partners and provided to the participants in advance, based on the sale of a specific market product.

The outcome is evaluated in parallel by each jury member according to unified, pre-developed criteria provided to them, and the scores are consolidated at the end by averaging. All other details of the competition can be found in the attached information package through the competition’s Agenda, Competition Guides, Lists of Competitors and Jury members, as well as the Evaluation Criteria, while the “LISS24” Project as a whole can be explored by visiting the trilingual website http://liss24-am.liss24.com/.
