Gold Award
I secured second place out of over 700 contestants who qualified for the global final, representing 44 countries, and earned a spot in the international top 10 for the Integrated Objective Test, the Presentation, and as a National Team. To achieve this, I successfully navigated the national selection process and developed the best business case at the final stage.

Bronze Award
I qualified for the Romanian national team with the second-highest score out of over 150 contestants, having passed two theoretical exams as well as the selection process for the extended squad, which consisted of an economics exam, a finance test, and the presentation of a business case. At the international stage, we analyzed the financial data of a leading company in the oil industry and developed an action strategy based on our findings, ultimately securing third place globally out of approximately 1,100 students who participated in the competition.

Individual Bronze Award
I placed in the global top 15 out of 2,502 finalists from 47 countries, selected from an initial pool of over 1.1 million participants. I qualified for the international stage following two individual theoretical exams at the national level; subsequently, at the international stage, my individual score was combined with the score achieved as part of a team during the business case challenge.

First & Third Prize
I earned these distinctions from among more than 2,600 projects created by approximately 14,000 students. My objective was to develop a research project aimed at supporting plant life in space, as well as creating a sustainable ecosystem. Drawing on technology proposed by space research centers, I succeeded in identifying a feasible approach by utilizing hydroponic and aeroponic technologies.

Honourable Mention & Second Prize
We earned these distinctions from among more than 1,900 teams in our age category, comprising approximately 5,000 students. We qualified for the national stage by achieving the maximum score in the regional stage two years in a row. At the national stage, we analyzed a complex dataset and presented a comprehensive statistical analysis, based on the specific criteria required. In 2026, we qualified for the international stage, where we had the opportunity to represent Romania by showcasing our country’s statistical characteristics through an interactive video. In the same context, we also had the honor of receiving an award from the National Institute of Statistics for the distinction we brought to our country.

Honourable Mention
I received these distinctions among more than 4,900 research projects carried out by students from all over the world. In these projects, I integrated technological innovations, security elements, the sustainability of the space ecosystem, and the social dimension of the spacecraft to ensure the feasibility of sustaining human life in space, for the hypothetical scenario in which our planet could no longer support our existence.

Emerging Impact Award
We received this distinction out of approximately 300 projects in our category. We carried out a research project on technology capable of ensuring the sustainable growth of plants in isolated ecosystems, and we developed “Adaptive Smart Plant Pods”, an innovative technology that addresses precisely this issue.
