University students are invited to present projects and theses on a variety of subjects related to specific industries and technologies. A jury of Italian and international industry experts, professors, and engineers select the winning entries.
The awards recipients and their professors win a trip to Italy, with complimentary flights, meals, accommodations, and transportation. During their stay in Italy, students and professors are offered a tailored program of in-class learning sessions and seminars, as well as factory visits and excursions to industrial sites.
