The "5 Minutes to Convince" competition gives UM students the opportunity to present their projects to a jury of experts from the professional and academic worlds.
There are 3 categories to enter:

- the "business start-up" category as part of a project to start a business, form an association, or take over an existing business;
- the "doctoral students" category as part of a postdoctoral application, a research collaboration agreement, a post-doctoral position, etc.
After each presentation, the jury provides feedback to the candidates to help them improve their skills and oral presentation.
