Assessment path & certification

The completion certificate is not awarded for attendance — it is earned by completing an integrated assessment path that starts before day one and ends with a published output bearing your name.

  1. Before day one

    Pre-test

    An online diagnostic test that sets the baseline for measuring your progress.

  2. End of each day

    A short quiz that consolidates the day and catches gaps early.

  3. All week

    Group paper

    Built step by step from a live challenge or a case study your team selects.

  4. Day five

    Presentation

    Each team presents its paper to a scientific committee before the ceremony.

  5. Program close

    Post-test

    The test is repeated to measure improvement and produce the impact report.

  6. After the program

    Review & publication

    Peer review, then publication in the Center’s proceedings with a DOI under all team members’ names.
