Day Schedule

Arrive at Provinciehuis! Make sure to arrive on time, collect your name tag, and let’s begin the day!

At the presentation, we introduce Emergent Leuven, the Data 4 Good Challenge, and our excellent corporate partners. Besides, we explain what the day of the challenge looks like, and what you can expect from each activity. 

Please attend the workshop of your choice by following the printout signs.

Time to announce the topic of the competition and explain all the information you need to know for the rest of the day. 

Enjoy the lunch break in the foyer! You will get to meet your team members as well. Charge your energy with great food. At the same time, brainstorm together how you would approach the challenge. Don’t forget to consult coaches from our partners who would provide valuable feedback on your idea.

You have four hours to crack the case. You will prepare your solution together with your team members. The coaches will walk around the tables and provide insightful feedback. You should benefit from the coaching session effectively to upgrade your delivery. Don’t forget to prepare your slide for the pitching as well!

Well done! You successfully finish the challenge! Now it is time for you to present your solution to the jury. Here you’ll submit your case and pitch it! Where you’ll be rewarded with a nice dinner.

The moment we’re all waiting for. The final ceremony where you’ll be given your prizes.

Congratulations! You all now deserve to have lots of fun at the after-party. The winners will be announced during the reception. What’s next? Have maximum fun with all Emergent board members, our partners, and fellow students and go network!
