“24 hours of innovation”: A trans-pyrenean challenge initiative

The goal of the 24 hours of innovation challenge is to encourage student teams from French and Spanish universities around the Pyrenees to find creative solutions to challenges put forward by participating companies. The initiative is presented and analyzed in this paper as an efficient way to promote creativity and innovation in the new engineering students.
