# 4.1 How to Register

In order to join the competition, all of the team members must be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program. The team will also have to send in a form to Njord containing the team members (at least two), and a contact person from the university. This can be done in on the page of the 2026 Challenge on the website.

There is no upper limit for the number of members in a team, but we estimate that you will need at least 6 students. The challenge is intentionally multi-disciplinary, and we encourage teams to include members with varied backgrounds. Students studying cybernetics, computer science, electrical- or marine engineering could all be relevant to a team, amongst others.

To formally join the challenge, a team leader will need to sign the participation agreement. This agreement will be send to the team leader after applying on the website.
