An additional category has been started since 2011, the Community Research & Innovation Competition (CoRIC) is a viva-type competition, in which participants only present their creative ideas that are beneficial to all mankinds. It is to develop collaboration between research and technology, and encourage students to come up with innovative ideas able to be commercialised for industry and society.
