Judging criteria and procedure

1) Pre-selection

All submitted videos will be assessed and provided with feedback based on the criteria: content, comprehensiveness and engagement. In the pre-selection round, all submitted videos are rated by 3 persons: 2 PhD panel members and 1 CAPHRI postdoc/(assistant) professor. The 8 best videos (at least one video per Research Line) are selected.

Content: Is the content scientifically sound?
• Is the content scientifically sound (e.g., methodology, explanation of constructs)?
• Are the results and conclusions put into perspective, not under- or overstating the significance of the results?
• Does the research add to CAPHRI, “A healthy society for everyone”?

Comprehensiveness: Did the video sufficiently explain the research to the audience?
• Was the structure clear? (E.g., containing information on a. the background information; b. the relevance of the research; c. the results and/or conclusions?)
• Did the video avoid scientific jargon and was terminology explained?
• Was the message targeted to the audience (e.g., based on age, language, country, likely interests, pre-existing knowledge, or expected feelings about the message)?

Engagement: Did the video make the audience want to know more about the research?
• Did the video convey enthusiasm for the research?
• Did the video capture and maintain the audience's attention (e.g., because it started strong, because it is simple, unexpected, concrete, credible, makes use of ‘pathos’, makes use of stories)?
• Did the sound and the visuals enhance the story - was it clear, legible/audible, and concise?

 

2) CAPHRI Research Day

All submitted videos will be showcased at the CAPHRI Research Day.

 

3) CAPHRI Research Day: PhD Video Session

The 8 selected best videos will be shown during the PhD Video Session at the CAPHRI Research Day. Each video in the PhD-session is followed by questions from the public. The maker of the video with the best content, comprehensiveness and engagement will receive a price.
