Student Competition in Evaluation 2026

We would like to inform you that the Czech Evaluation Competition for university students will take place on 7 May 2026.

The competition is intended for students of bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes in relevant fields related to project cycles and evaluation. Students will compete in small teams to design the best evaluation approach for a specific assignment within an evaluation project.

Competition schedule:

• At 2:00 PM, the teams will meet with the evaluation panel at Charles University (Faculty of Science, Albertov 6), where they will each present their proposal for 10 minutes and then answer the committee’s questions.
• The competition consists of two parts.
• The first part will take place online, when student teams composed of 3–5 students will receive a specific case study and will have four weeks to prepare their evaluation proposal.
• No later than the following day, participants will be informed about the results and the winners of the competition.

Additional information:

• All participants will receive a certificate of participation, which they may use as an attachment to their CV.
• The winners will receive financial rewards and will also have the opportunity to present their evaluation proposal at the annual conference of the Czech Evaluation Society (ČES).

Those interested may register by email at chaloupkova@czecheval.cz no later than 4 May 2026.

Further information can be found in the information leaflet.

The competition is inspired by Canadian experience; more information is available on the website of the Canadian Evaluation Society.
