Role & mission

What Is the Role of a Coach?

Coaches are academic staff members or senior researchers assigned to each institutional team. Their role is to provide academic guidance and methodological support throughout the proposal-development process. They facilitate and advise the participating students, helping them develop a coherent, evidence-based, and well-substantiated proposal aligned with the initiative’s objectives.

Methodological guidance

Coaches steer teams through the charrette method — framing the problem, structuring the argument, and preparing the live demonstration.

Team coordination

Coaches coordinate between organizing and participant students within their team, ensuring balanced workload and clear roles.

Quality & coherence check

Coaches liaise with the Scientific Committee to make sure each team's proposal is academically sound before the Event Day

Coaching timeline

Preparation Sessions

From October to November 2026, coaches hold regular check-in sessions with their respective teams, either in person or remotely, providing ongoing academic guidance and methodological support throughout the proposal-development process.

4

Rehearsal and Feedback — 30 Days Before the Event

Coaches attend the rehearsal session and provide constructive feedback to help teams refine their proposals and strengthen their presentations ahead of the official event.

Governance

Rules and Regulations

The principles every participant agrees to on registration — academic, apolitical and fully traceable.

World Records — Rules and Regulations

Official counting protocol · GWR homologation requirements

GWR · 01

Quadruple-lock counting

Each counted participant validated through 4 simultaneous methods: scanned badge, digital platform trace, signed paper register, and continuous uninterrupted video — the official GWR homologation standard.

GWR · 02

Closed-zone perimeter

The official 180-minute window requires a sealed closed zone. No re-entry permitted without marshal clearance. All participants must be physically present and traceable for the entire duration.

GWR · 03

On-site GWR adjudicator

A certified World Records adjudicator must be physically present on D-Day to open the official window, monitor counting procedures and issue the homologation certificate.

GWR · 04

Pre-approval of the title

The bespoke title "Largest AI-Powered Finance Workshop" must be formally approved by GWR Management before D-Day. No title change is permitted within 30 days of the event.

📋

IMPACT'HUM CARTHAGE — Event Rules and Regulations

Academic governance · Participant obligations · Code of conduct

Event · 01

Scientific committee

21 members, three per institution, chaired under the University of Carthage. The Sci-Com guarantees academic quality and methodological coherence throughout the process.

Event · 02

Apolitical charter

Every participant signs a neutrality charter on registration. No political colouring; student proposals do not bind any state or government. The event is strictly academic.

Event · 03

AI — Traceable, never decisive

AI acts as a coherence detector only, flagging contradictions. It never decides. The "AI-Powered" label requires full traceability and human final authority at every step.

Event · 04

Eligibility — Bachelor to PhD

Open to Bachelor, Master and PhD students from all nationalities. Centre of gravity at Master level. Each of the 7 teams must include multiple nationalities. The 50/25/25 key is binding.

Event · 05

Co-architects, not judges

No participant votes on the institution they personally designed. Every team is author of one beam and ratifier of the other six — the architecture of impartiality.

Event · 06

Certification & publication

Each counted participant receives an official certificate co-signed by UCAR. IMPACT'HUM CARTHAGE is published symbolically after the record window, not during.

Methodology

The 7-beam ratification cycle

Each institution beam follows the same five-step sequence. The 7th completes IMPACT'HUM CARTHAGE.
