Evaluation and ranking

Questions and tasks in the competition will be prepared by an international committee appointed by the Organizing Committee. For the three competitive rounds, including: a) written and multimedia test; b) field tasks, and c) solving a given case study (simulated problem situation in a real environment), three separate subcommittees will be organized.

They will be led by a chairman who coordinates the process of creating test assignments and evaluation criteria. The Organizing Committee:
  • approves the questions and tasks of the competition, developed by the subcommittees;
  • controls the activities providing for the procedures for assessing the test and practical tasks;
  • approves the jury of the competition and the rules on which the participants are evaluated and ranked.

The members of the commission shall certify with a declaration that there are no circumstances that would lead to a violation of the principle of objective evaluation and non-dissemination of information related to the competition issues and tasks prior to their official announcement.

Criteria for evaluation and ranking are developed by the Organizing Committee. Grading is done on a point system.
