This evening the Summum Thesis Award will be handed out to most innovative and inspiring graduation thesis. In addition to the award, the winner will receive a prize of €500.

During the contest, the finalists will present their graduation thesis in a series of 5-minute presentations, where each presenter must use 20 slides, which auto-advance every 15 seconds. After all presentations, the jury will then announce the winner of the Summum Thesis Award. The jury will consist of the symposium's speakers.
