It can be a research result, but also an idea of a product or a service, an answer to a need, a project for a new activity or a new company. In any case, it has to convey change or novelty.
What does social impact mean?
From our point of view, it can impact on several levels:
on society (e.g. by fostering social ties), on the individual (e.g. by improving living conditions and health), on the economy, on politics (by encouraging citizen initiative), on the environment and its preservation
Do I have to develop, code or partner with someone with these skills to submit my project?
No, ideas are welcome, as are projects that incorporate code.
What if I don’t want any support after the competition?
Each candidate chooses the follow-up he/she wishes to give to his/her project (support, visibility…).
