PANEL · 01
Expert Jury
Teachers, mentors, industry professionals and domain experts evaluate the technical merit, the depth of the work and the relevance of the ideas. The benchmark of rigour.
PROJECT HORIZON · EDITION 2026
The Challenge
Project Horizon is a student innovation challenge where teams design tomorrow — and where, for the first time, three very different juries decide together.
§ 01 · WHAT IS PROJECT HORIZON?
What is Project Horizon?
Project Horizon brings together students from junior and senior years around one mission: imagine and build the technologies, services and ideas of tomorrow. Each team submits a project that combines technical creativity, ambition and a willingness to take risks.
But the real signature of the event is its evaluation: not one jury, but three. Human experts. Peer students. And — for the first time at this scale — an international panel of artificial intelligences. Three perspectives, three sensitivities, sometimes three different winners.
Three perspectives. One challenge.
§ 02 · THE THREE JURIES
The three juries

PANEL · 02
Student Jury
The participants themselves vote on each other's projects. The democratic perspective: what resonates with peers, what excites a generation that will live with these ideas.
III
PANEL · 03
LLM Jury
A panel of around twenty AI models from the United States, France and China — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek and others — evaluates the same projects. A new lens: how does machine intelligence, with no shared human bias, see this work?

§ 03 · HOW VOTING WORKS
How voting works
-
STEP · 01
Each voter receives a personal code
A short code (8 characters), used once, sent by mail or shared as a unique link.
-
STEP · 02
Rank your top 3 projects
1st place earns 5 points, 2nd place 3 points, 3rd place 1 point. Each voter consults the projects in detail before deciding.
-
STEP · 03
Three rankings emerge
One ranking per jury: Expert Choice, Student Choice, LLM Choice. Sometimes the same project wins all three. Sometimes the rankings disagree completely — and that is precisely the point.
