Demonstrate that your approach is responsible, realistic, and implementable.
2. Final Contribution
In "Final Contribution", your team will engage with the contributions of other teams and refine your initial contribution. You will be invited to:
Review and comment on other teams’ contributions : Share constructive feedback, raise questions, challenge their contributions.
Receive feedback from mentors : Experts and mentors will provide comments and critical insights on your work.
Access expert keynotes : Selected expert talks and resources may be made available to help you deepen your analysis.
Strengthen your contribution : Use the feedback received — from peers and mentors — to refine, clarify, and strengthen your final contribution.
This phase is designed to simulate a real policy deliberation process: contributions evolve through dialogue, critique, and collective intelligence.
PLEASE NOTE
The format of your final submission is flexible. You may choose the format that best conveys your ideas and approach : Investigation, Charts, Video, Pitch presentation, Written report, Prototype, Experiment or any other relevant format.
Regardless of the format selected, your submission must clearly present your reasoning and demonstrate your approach by providing explicit answers to the following questions :

3. Vote
Each team will create a 3-minute pitch video presenting their use case, analysis, and final contribution with implementation conditions; you will be invited to watch and engage with other teams’ videos; and participate in a live argumentation webinar to clarify, defend, and discuss their contributions before the voting phase.
How voting works
The selection process is based on a triple different evaluation dynamic:
1. Peer evaluation : Participants will vote for the contribution(s) they found the most convincing, the most impactful and the most relevant to implement based on what they have heard during the webinar.
2. Public evaluation : The public will be invited to engage and vote.
3. Advisory Board evaluation : The Challenge Advisory Board will review and select their favorite contribution.
Vote analysis – Factors for consideration
This Challenge is grounded in inquiry and critical reflection. There is no predetermined “right answer.” The following factors will be taken into consideration for the vote of the advisory board :
Quality of problem framing : Your ability to clearly identify and articulate: the core issue at stake, the context, the broader implications
Richness and diversity of perspectives : Multidimensional approaches will be valued. Final contributions should not be purely technical, but may also integrate: pedagogical, social, organizational, ethical, environmental and/or political dimensions.
One clear contribution per case study : Each submission must be structured around: one clearly defined use case AND one main, well-developed proposal
Actionability: Your final contribution must be: realistic, well-argued, actionable and accompanied by clear implementation conditions
Integration of feedback : The quality of your deliberation process matters as much as the final proposal itself. Your final contribution should demonstrate your ability to engage with critique, incorporate relevant feedback and evolve your thinking through debate.
