From June 1, 2022 to August 31, the registration period for the sixteenth edition of the Free Software University Contest (CUSL)corresponding to the academic year 2021/2022.
On this occasion, the organization has decided to review the format, so that the projects that are registered will be evaluated in the first half of September, so that the final phase takes place in early October.
A brief FAQ of the contest:

Of course, in this new format, we encourage all students who are preparing or have prepared their final project in this academic year.
How do you assess projects?
The evaluation of the projects will value positively the following sections:
