- Getting new and interesting content for your CV

It is possible to gain credits from the event, but you will need to negotiate with your programme director to include these credits in your study plan, for example in the form of an internship or project course.
Participants are expected to have an open mind and a willingness to work with people they may not have met before. You can apply to join the event via the registration link on this event page. Students will be selected based on their motivation.
