On Monday, March 30, the final presentations of the two-week intensive EuroTeQ Collider project took place at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. This is an innovative Challenge-based learning in which students solve real challenges from industrial partners. The reward is practical experience, new contacts, but also 5 ECTS (CTUQCOL subject) and for the winning teams, advancement to the international rounds.
Three of them advance to the international final of the EuroTeQaThon, which will be held on the campus of DTU University in Denmark from 13 to 15 June 2026.
The fourth winning team, whose solution, according to the jury, has the highest potential for commercial development, will receive a prize in the form of participation in the Ignite Bootcamp, organized by IESE Barcelona from July 20th to 24th, 2026.
Participants and topics
The final presentation was attended by 20 students in 4 teams:
- 2 teams addressed a challenge from Asahi (detection of beer and gas leaks in production).
- 1 team solved the PRE (electricity grid balancing) challenge.
- 1 team dedicated to improving the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
