• Saturday was the founder of the Intercom group, Antonio Gonzalez Barros, who made a Motivational Spitch of almost two hours and the rest of the afternoon participants could spend their time to observe each of the projects.
• Sunday afternoon the groups prepared the presentations of the projects. Later on, they were held before the jury formed by Xavier Casares (president of AMCES) Albert C.Mikkelsen, and two members of Barcelona Think & Co. who gave them powerful feedback.

It has been a weekend where students from different disciplines were able to acquire new knowledge and left everyone with a great taste. Many of them have decided to remain on their own after this experience.
