Participants present their methods and their achievements to the Challenge jury, the world and each other through the Challenge online platform. The best projects will win the prestigious Stockholm Challenge trophies and receive a 5000 Euro stipend. The award ceremony will take place in the Stockholm City Hall on May 22. That is the last day of Challenge Week, which will be held at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm on May 19-22.
