Contest Brief

We are seeking a professional and experienced freelancer to design and develop a high-quality, fully customizable PowerPoint presentation template for the Smart Cities Department. The template should reflect a modern, innovative, and data-driven visual identity aligned with smart city concepts, research excellence, and advanced technologies.
Scope of Work
The presentation template should be designed to accommodate the following content sections, based on an existing presentation (to be shared upon engagement) in order to align with the institute’s visual identity, colors, and branding elements. However, the structure and layout do not need to replicate the existing presentation.
The sections listed below are intended only to provide an overview of the expected slide content and help guide the overall template structure and design approach. The objective is to develop a professionally designed, flexible, and visually cohesive presentation template — not to create the presentation content itself.

1. Overview, Introduction & National Alignment
• General introduction to the department/institute
• Vision, mission, and strategic positioning
• Alignment with national initiatives and strategic programs related to smart cities, sustainability, innovation, AI, and digital transformation

2. Institute Snapshot, Achievements & Impact
This section should begin with a high-level institute snapshot followed by measurable achievements and impacts.
Institute Snapshot
Include visually engaging statistics, metrics, and KPI-focused slides highlighting areas such as:
• Number of projects and initiatives
• Researchers, scientific groups, and research domains
• Partnerships, collaborations, and strategic alliances
• Publications, patents, platforms, and innovation outputs
• Cities, sectors, and entities served
• Laboratories, facilities, and technical capabilities
• Number of researchers, scholarships, workshops, and training programs
• Startups, spin-offs, or entrepreneurship activities
• Revenue, funding, grants, or commercialization outcomes
Achievements & Impact
• Clearly presented achievements supported by quantitative metrics
• Strong emphasis on measurable outcomes and real-world impact
• Affiliated or graduated universities and institutes around the world
• Use of infographics, maps, charts, timelines, and data visualization

3. Institutes, Domains & Fields
• Structured overview of institutional domains, specializations, and focus areas
• Research and technical fields covered by the institute

4. Scientific Groups
This section should be operational and people-focused rather than repeating high-level domains.
Each scientific group should include:
• Group description
• Operational/research focus
• Main activities and technical scope
• Members names
The scientific groups are:
• IoT & Sensing
• Decision Support
• Sustainable Infrastructure & Energy
• Intelligent Interfaces & Human Experience
• Spatial Intelligence: Vision & 3D
• Generative & Agentic AI

5. Partners & Collaborators
partnerships and collaborations with:
• Universities
• Research institutes
• Government entities
• Municipalities
• International collaborators
• Industry partners

6. Projects Portfolio
Current Projects
Each current project must include 3 slides:
• Slide 1: Video placeholder with one-line description
• Slide 2: Detailed description, impact, and stakeholders
• Slide 3: Team members
Archived Projects
• One summarized slide per project

7. Cognitive Cities Lab
This section should present the lab as a current infrastructure, capability, and experimentation platform supporting smart city innovation and applied research.
The section should include:
• Importance and vision of the lab
• How it supports research, experimentation, prototyping, and smart city applications
• Infrastructure and technical capabilities available within the lab
The lab infrastructure includes technologies and facilities such as:
• AR / VR / XR infrastructure
• GPU computing nodes
• 3D printing and prototyping
• Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI experimentation
• LEGO AIoT and embedded systems
• Robotics platforms
• Spatial computing technologies
• Intelligent interfaces and immersive systems
• Digital twin experimentation capabilities
This section should visually emphasize innovation, experimentation, and future-ready infrastructure.

8. Smart Cities Standards
2 slides:
• Overview of national standards developed by the institute
• Role in evaluating and benchmarking city “smartness”

9. Future Vision & Strategic Direction
This section should focus on long-term strategic ambitions and future smart city directions.
Topics may include:
• Urban digital twins
• AI-native cities
• Real-time city intelligence
• Human-centered smart cities
• Autonomous and intelligent urban systems
• Future urban analytics and decision intelligence
• Emerging technologies and future research directions
This section should represent future ambitions and strategic direction rather than current infrastructure.

Design Requirements
• Professional, modern, and minimal design aligned with smart city and technology themes
• Strong use of data visualization (charts, maps, infographics, icons)
• Consistent layout, typography, and spacing across all slides
• Fully editable Slide Master with predefined layouts for each section
• Support for multimedia integration (videos, images, icons)
• The color palette must be derived from the attached logo, using its primary colors and their respective families to ensure brand consistency and visual harmony across the presentation

Deliverables
• Fully editable PowerPoint template (.pptx)
• Slide Master with structured layouts covering all required sections
• Sample slides demonstrating proper usage of the template
We are looking for a freelancer with proven experience in designing corporate, research, or technology-focused presentations, preferably within smart cities, AI, digital transformation, or data-driven domains.
Please include samples of relevant previous work in your proposal.
