The best team, at the end of the competition, will win a prize of 20 thousand euros!

Student teams are expected to present a brand-new idea that responds to local and global challenges sustainably. The application requirements are as follows::

• The team must be led by a leader who is an undergraduate, master’s, or Ph.D. student of one of the member universities of CESAER (among the members is the University of Belgrade);
• There is no limit to the number of team members, and members of one team can be from one or different CESAER member universities;
• The idea should respond to well-identified scientific, technological, and social needs and goals;
• There must be a POC (Proof of Concept) about the technical feasibility of the solution itself; therefore, not only a scientific concept is sufficient, but also proof of its feasibility and application in practice, with a clear analysis of potential users/customers;
• There must be a clear correlation between the solution with one or more Sustainable Development Goals.

Applications should meet three main criteria, according to which they will be evaluated:

1. Novelty (a new approach to solving scientific and technological challenges; the solution corresponds to the real needs of the target groups; there is evidence of the possibility of application in practice);
2. Scientific and Technological Excellence (the solution is presented and explained in accordance with the most up-to-date requirements and references; the solution is feasible; the solution is the result of an interdisciplinary approach and work);
3. Impact and Sustainability (the solution is clearly correlated with one or more Sustainable Development Goals and contributes to environmental, economic, and social sustainability; the solution includes adequate preliminary indicators for assessing the impact and contribution to sustainable development; the solution analyzes and engages relevant target groups, i.e. users/ customers).

Given that only one team can participate in the competition in front of one CESAER member university, the University of Belgrade organizes an internal competition!
All interested student teams of the University of Belgrade can apply from May 10 to June 10, 2023, by sending a pitch deck to the email: ctt@rect.bg.ac.rs, with the indication ‘Application for CESAER competition’. An obligatory criterion within the internal competition is the analysis of the pitch deck in accordance with the three main competition criteria (novelty, scientific and technological excellence, impact and sustainability), and the presentation of solutions should clearly respond to all three criteria.

After the completion of internal applications, UB student teams will be invited to preparatory workshops, in which they will work on the quality preparation of materials for the final application to the CESAER competition.
The final application will include an abstract of the innovative idea and a short video showing the conceptual solution.
Preparatory workshops and consultations will be held (once a week) in the period from June 19 to July 17 at the University of Belgrade, after which one team will be selected to submit the final application no later than July 31, 2023.

From all applications, the three best videos will be selected and shown at the CESAER Annual Meeting at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in October 2023, and the leaders of the three selected teams will be able to join the event for free.
The winning team, as previously emphasized, will win a prize of 20,000 euros! In addition, the winning team will be provided with access to a platform that brings together experts and leaders from leading European science and technology universities, which can help them further develop an innovative solution.

We invite all interested students of the University of Belgrade to apply and take advantage of this unique opportunity! If you have a question or doubt, the CTT team is at your disposal.

Hackathon4Future is an online event organized on May 15 and 16, participation is completely free, and applications are open until May 10, via the following form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeymjEPhsSvBIFxCdWpr6Dzf8aGrQEpN4hOPUMqiebRqL7fLA/viewform

The whole project is the result of cooperation between different European universities, incubators, but also three EIT communities, and enthusiastic individuals who want to help the development of innovative entrepreneurship in Europe.

Innovators and students from different fields (natural sciences, IT, engineering, economics, law, social sciences) can apply for participation, as part of already formed teams that are at the beginning of developing a business idea, but individuals can also apply who will, before the event, be matched with other students and become part of the team.

Teams will work to design solutions for 3 challenges:

1. Floating vests for people with reduced mobility;
2. Smart city applications for the elderly;
3. Tech to prevent and address gender-based violence.

This is a great opportunity for young innovators, who will work on solving real problems, collaborate with experienced mentors and EIT representatives, and also meet colleagues from universities across Europe. The best teams will get the opportunity to apply for an international startup support program and continue working on the development of their innovative solutions.

Sign up, and good luck!

Last week, the national finals for the University of Belgrade teams were held, during which two student startup teams were selected to represent the University of Belgrade at the Danube Cup 2023 competition – farmit and SignAvatar!

The criteria based on which the jury selected the two winning teams were the originality of the business idea, the possibility of entering the market, the feasibility of the business idea, the development of the product/service, and the quality of the team.
The jury consisted of experts in business development, startup, and innovative entrepreneurship: Tamara Čolić Milosavljević, Technology Transfer Manager of the Center for Technology Transfer of the University of Belgrade; Dr. Jelena Nedeljković, Associate Professor of the Faculty of Forestry, University of Belgrade; Dr. Mladen Čudanov, Full Professor of the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Belgrade; Dr. Stefan Komazec, Assistant Professor of the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Belgrade.

farmit is a unique farm-to-table concept that aims to provide customers with quality and healthy vegetables. The user creates a garden on the application and monitors its development over the phone, while a team of farmers and technologists takes care of its maintenance and vegetable delivery. The user also has the option of visiting the plot, and the whole concept helps to strengthen small and sustainable agricultural production.

SignAvatar is a software that translates speech into sign language using artificial intelligence and is designed to help the hearing impaired in their daily lives. Just some of the examples where it is possible to integrate SignAvatar are television, video platforms (Youtube, Tiktok), video calls (Teams, Cisco Webex), banks, schools, public transport, as well as public and state institutions. The team’s long-term vision is for SignAvatar to become globally available and accessible to every hearing-impaired person for easier integration into society.

In the following period, the selected teams will be mentored and prepared for the semi-finals (May 10, 2023, Passau), during which one team will advance to the finals of the Danube Cup competition (May 12, 2023, Regensburg).

Good luck to our great teams!

Danube Cup provides a unique opportunity for young and ambitious entrepreneurs, but it is important to emphasize that this is not a competition of ideas – the business idea must already be validated among potential customers/users, the concept must be innovative and original, and there must be a high growth potential independent of trends in the local market.

Student teams should meet the following criteria:

• Validation: teams should have done validation research on their business idea, at least at the local level;
• Team size: they must have a minimum of two and a maximum of five team members, and participants can be members of only one team;
• Student team: it is allowed to include non-students among the team members, but the majority of members should still be full-time students of the competition’s partner universities, in this case, the University of Belgrade;
• Development phase: teams must be in the pre-seed or pre-incubator stage, without previous financial support from independent accelerators, incubators, companies, or VC funds;
• Availability: team members must be available to participate in all phases of the competition.

Student teams, therefore, should have a confirmed business concept; should be innovative, with growth potential, in international demand; they should have already gained some market validation and have no accumulated equity capital. An existing prototype is not a prerequisite for participation.

During the competition, student teams are expected to be mentored, connected and cooperated with other student teams, mentors, entrepreneurs, and sponsors, as well as with business angels and VC funds. Valuable cash prizes await the most successful teams.

At the University of Belgrade, a pitch competition will be organized for a maximum of 25 student teams, which are already working on the development of their innovative solutions. After the pitch competition, the two selected student startup teams will be mentored and prepared for the semi-finals (May 10, 2023, Passau), during which one team will advance to the final of the competition (May 12, 2023, Regensburg).

The call for interested student startup teams at the University of Belgrade is open until March 31, 2023, and what you need to do is to contact the following e-mail addresses: ctt@rect.bg.ac.rs and mladen.cudanov@fon.bg.ac.rs (it is necessary to send an e-mail to both addresses) and submit your Pitch deck presentation (up to 20 slides).
As the competition at the University of Belgrade will be organized for a maximum of 25 teams, Pitch deck presentations will help in the process of initial team selection.

Good luck!
