Application and Selection
The selection of participants is performed in two steps: First, around 120 preselected students (out of 1000+) are chosen based on the documents they provided (see below). In the second phase, the final decisions are taken by the host companies.
The first selection is performed by judging the following documents, which are required for the application:
- application form
- Curriculum Vitae
- motivation letter
- recommendation letter (written by a professor)
- all the grades obtained at the university
- university grading system
The most critical information contained in the above list of documents is the student's international profile, motivation and technical skills.
After the first selection is performed, the students are given a list of host companies out of which they may pick one or two - one being already chosen by the judging board. Then the applicant must write a dedicated motivation letter for each of these host companies, which will be sent directly to the human resource department of the host company. These companies perform the final selection.

Famous quotes containing the words application and/or selection:
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea!—incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.”
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
