For the fourth time since 2016, AOMB Polska in cooperation with the University of Warsaw, UWRC and AIPEX European Connected, has an honor and a great pleasure to co-organize a competition for a diploma thesis with the highest commercialization or implementation potential. The competition enjoys considerable interest and is conducted in three categories – bachelor, master and a PhD.

The Competition Commission, during the assessment of the submitted works, mainly takes into account:
Relevance of the addressed issue and the economic benefits resulting from it:
– How much the solution described in the thesis changes the current state of art and knowledge?
– Does the result of the thesis improve the existing efficiency of solutions or propose a new solution that has not been applied so far?
– What will be the economic and / or social benefits of future implementation?

The level of advancement of the solution described in the thesis and the possibility of applying the results in practice:
– What are the currently available solutions to the described problem?
– Is it necessary to carry out many tests and analyzes for implementation, or whether the results of thesis are ready to be applied in practice?
– Already obtained patents / already filled patent applications / planned patent applications.

In the 4th edition of the Competition, which took place in 2019, the founder of the main prizes was our Law Firm, distinctions – Vice-Rector for Human Resources and Financial Policy of the University of Warsaw, prof. dr hab. Andrzej Tarlecki, and the founder of the special award – UWRC Sp. z o.o.
