The award, whose theme is “Engineering and architecture: design and construction”, is aimed not only at

Therefore, the award is divided into two sections: each of them includes two subsections that are dedicated respectively to degree theses and completed works.

The aim of the initiative is to enhance the merit of young graduates and designers through
the inclusion in a high-profile professional circuit for the former and sums of money for the others,
as well as activating new synergies with the public and private institutions to which the subjects belong
hosts and those taking part in the initiative.

Two internships are planned, both lasting six months and intended for graduates in Building Engineering-

engineering international office; the second will be carried out at one of the Italian engineering companies
registered with the OICE, permanent partner of the award.

For details, please refer to the regulation and the subsequent announcement which will be made official in the next ones
weeks.
