- Selection CriteriaAccording to these five criteria, our jury team will rate the submitted solutions.
- Relevance for Swiss ecosystem: Even though the participation in the Hackathon is not restricted to Switzerland, the implementation of highlighted projects needs to be planned nationally.
- The relevance of the solution in addressing the specific challenge: The solution is addressing the stated problem and is answering the proposed challenge
- Potential for impact on the long term: Is this solution feasible? Is it scalable? Transferability potential (how will the solution be applied in practice?)
- Progress in the last 48 hours: Projects in different stages of development have been submitted to the Hackathon, however, highlights will be selected among those who made the biggest progress during #versusvirus.
- Value-added: We want to make sure that projects are inspired by a collaborative spirit and adding value on each other.
