The WI2026 Student Challenge is aimed at students (bachelor's and master's) of business informatics and related disciplines who would like to present a result with a strong practical relevance. The results can be submitted in the form of prototypes, posters, websites, etc., and will be presented at an exhibition during WI2026. All accepted submissions will receive an award, and there will also be a public vote and a jury prize.
The selection process is based on a one-page description of the results (exposé) and an additional list of the necessary equipment (e.g., notebook, flipchart, other materials). The submitted exposés will be evaluated and ranked by a jury of experts. The authors of the 20 best exposés will be invited to present their work during WI2026 (attendance required from September 7 to 9).
