Participation</h2> To participate in the Pulse program we have seven options for students: 1.1 From the start Get involved early on and participate in the first stage with an idea and, if your idea is selected, move forward to the other stages of the challenge. 1.2. Option for those whose idea didn&rsquo;t get selected for the next phase If you participated with an idea but it didn&rsquo;t move forward in the challenge, you can join another team that has moved to the next phase. The team has to declare you as a new member. 1.3. Option for those who just want to give the idea If you participate with an idea and the idea goes to the next phase but you don&rsquo;t want to participate anymore, you can donate the idea so other students can create a team to explore it and move forward the program. You will only be rewarded for the idea stage. 1.4. Option for those who did not submit ideas If you didn&rsquo;t submit an idea but would like to participate in a team that is in the challenge, register with the organizing committee who will try to find you a team. 1.5. Participate in Pulse and get credit for Managing Impactful Projects (BSc) If you are participating in the third stage of Pulse you are eligible to get credit for the course Managing Impactful Projects. This does not affect your other eligibility in the Pulse program for prizes &amp; awards. You either are already part of a team or join a project team that is still in the challenge in the third stage. 1.6. No team but would like to get credit for the course Managing Impactful Projects (BSc) If you want to get credit for the course Managing Impactful Projects but weren&rsquo;t able to find a team with open spots, the organizing committee will create teams outside of the challenge with an idea to be developed in parallel with the program. The rules are the same but without the prizes. 1.7. Participate in Pulse and use it as the foundation for your Master&rsquo;s Work Project (MSc) If you participate in the third stage of the challenge you and/or your team can use that experience as the foundation for the work project, with the report describing the work done and the impact of the proposed solution at an individual, organizational and societal levels. <h2 id="2registration">2. Registration</h2> The registration can be done individually or as a Team of up to 5 members:
