And the winners of the Video Challenge 2024 “Why It Matters – In 120 seconds!" are...
This year’s video challenge on the topic “Why it matters” invited PhD students to showcase the importance of their research in just 120 seconds. All participants were given the opportunity to explain the significance of their PhD research, presenting a ‘big picture’ view of its potential contribution and impact in 120 seconds. The topic could either focus on a specific discipline or take a transdisciplinary approach. A jury assessed all submitted videos based on several criteria:
- clear communication of the research’s significance
- clear and concise explanations,
- a strong narrative thread and
- creative “storytelling”.
