Hi Myriam – hope you are well!
Please note last week we launched the above award.
Full details in the mailshot below.
I wanted to make you aware – would be great to have railgirls represented in the
finalists!
Any questions please let me know.
The Ericsson Innovation Awards 2016 have officially started. The Ericsson Innovation Awards (EIA)
are a global competition that gives students the opportunity to develop innovative Information
Communication Technology (ICT) ideas in collaboration with Ericsson experts.
The theme for EIA 2016 is “the future of city life”. The competition is therefore focused on ideas
that use ICT to improve the quality of urban life and to ensure that tomorrow’s cities are
creative, connected and sustainable places to live and work.
EIA 2016 is open to teams of two to four students. After registration closes on November 30th
2015, ten semi-finalists will be announced on December 18th 2015. Nine of the semi-finalists
will be selected by an Ericsson jury, with the remaining place assigned by a public vote.
The ten teams will each work with two selected Ericsson experts to develop a minimum viable
product (MVP). Four teams will be chosen by the jury to participate in the EIA 2016 grand final
in 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden.
The winning team will receive a cash prize of EUR 25,000, with a second-place prize of
EUR 15,000 and two runners-up prizes of EUR 1,000 each. Career-enhancing incentives are also
on offer: all participants will be invited to apply for Ericsson opportunities, and semi-finalists
will be interviewed for internship or other positions.

Can I please ask that you share with your students and lecturers who may be interested.
All the best of luck in the Ericsson Innovation Awards 2016!
Kind regards,
