8:00-9:00 Final preparation of student groups individual group rooms

9:00-11:00 Pitching general auditorium

Overview

This is the final day of the summer school where you present your ideas to people from industry and academia. We organized you a "white glove" experience and invited jurors from the space and biomedical industry to check your solutions for their innovation and also give you feedback on your skills in pitching. Additionally, we have an academic expert board from the participating university reviewing your outputs.

All groups need to be present, since you will also be a juror.

Workflow

The same as in real life you have very strict time limits to pitch and convince the jurors that your solution is worth investing.

Each pitch is structured the following way:

• 7 minutes for presenting your solution and all the ideas behind your concept.
• 10 minutes time to answer questions of the jurors, who will challenge your concept to check its quality
• 3 minutes for filling the menti meter with your rating of the presentation

The rating and selection of the best pitch will follow the following procedure

Upload of results

Please upload the results according to the specification of assignments before the pitching (deadline 3.9.2021 9:00 for all groups). They will be checked by the academic board.

Inclusion of multiple viewpoints

To receive a fair rating the following groups will rate each presentation:

your student colleagues

Please use the mentimeter to give your answers for each group.

academic board

Please provide a ranked list according to the rating criteria and send it to bioart.summerschool@iiss.at

Rating criteria

All groups have to rate according to the following four criteria:

1. the innovation of the idea (top counting)
2. your ability to present this idea in the pitch (top counting)
3. the technical soundness of the concept
4. the maturity of your solution (give extra points but not crucial)

Selection of best solution

For us it is important that you get real feedback beyond the academic world. Hence the external expert jury will select the best solution to the assignment.

These independent experts will receive

• the results of the online student rating of the pitches
• the ranking of the academic board

and then find a final descision.
