Organized by the National Center for Scientific and Technical Research, Mohammed V University of Rabat, and the International University of Rabat, the competition will feature 28 doctoral students from various Moroccan universities. Each student will have three minutes to present the progress of their research to a panel of judges and a general audience.

Three jury prizes will be awarded, along with a public choice award. The recipient of the jury's first prize will earn the honor of representing Morocco at the international final, scheduled to be held in October.
