Funding tip: Ask your school or government, or see whether a technology company can sponsor your research, development, and registration.

Registration

Build your team. Start your record.

Registration and submission run through join.i2ol.org. Team size is unrestricted, and work can continue after your first submission.

Registration steps

Six moves from profile to payment

Create a personal account at join.i2ol.org and complete your personal particulars.

Select IDSOL, IQCOL, or IBCOL as your project’s primary competition.

Choose a name preserved in your season record. It is not your project title; it may reflect a company idea, place, institution, or inside joke.

Set your location, then invite team members and supervisors.

Pick SS (ISCED 2–3) or PS (ISCED 4–8), then one of your competition’s two categories.

Optionally add a secondary competition, express interest in ETO, then continue to the fee calculator.
