To make your application as successful as possible we have set up dedicated competition groups. It's the place where you can find information like the competition scope document, register for related events, ask questions, and interact with peers in order to create a competitive application - and more. Join the group and you'll be able to reply to comments and questions under the articles tab, be able to access competition presentations and be notified when peers have left requests for competition partners.
