Students & Young Engineers<br />
The 32 nd <strong>FISITA</strong> World Automotive Congress includes two special programmes for students and young engineers: the Student<br />
Congress and the Travelling Fellowship <strong>Programme</strong>.<br />
Students and young engineers have applied to participate in either programme and are going to present a technical paper at the<br />
congress. These papers are marked with [SC] in the technical programme (see pages 25-47). The topics of the papers are the<br />
same as those for the main congress.<br />
<strong>FISITA</strong> Student Congress<br />
The Student Congress runs parallel to the main congress in<br />
room 11 and gives engineering students the opportunity to<br />
meet in a technical forum with their peers from all over the<br />
world. Students and young engineers are going to present<br />
and discuss their technical papers and also have the opportunity<br />
to attend the main congress including the Plenary<br />
Sessions, where they can meet with some of the world’s<br />
most influential engineers, designers and experts. Delegates<br />
attending the main congress are also able to attend the student<br />
presentations.<br />
Prizes<br />
<strong>FISITA</strong> Travelling Fellowship<br />
<strong>FISITA</strong> offers young engineers under the age of 35 the opportunity<br />
to participate in a two week Travelling Fellowship<br />
<strong>Programme</strong>. This programme runs from 8–19 September<br />
<strong>2008</strong> (starting one week prior to the main congress). Fellows<br />
experience exclusive technical tours to automotive<br />
facilities (e.g. BMW, Daimler, MAN, Technical University<br />
of Munich) in week one, and then join the Congress in<br />
week two. The <strong>FISITA</strong> Travelling Fellowship is an excellent<br />
opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of Germany’s<br />
automotive industry, to take part in a major international<br />
congress and to mix with other talented young engineers<br />
from all over the world.<br />
Participation is limited. Candidates have applied to their<br />
national <strong>FISITA</strong> member society who have then selected<br />
one engineer from their country to be nominated for the<br />
programme.<br />
<strong>FISITA</strong> awards prizes for the three outstanding papers presented at the congress from students and young engineers.<br />
The awards, presented at the Closing Ceremony of the main congress, are as follows:<br />
First Prize: 1000 EUR + Certificate<br />
Second Prize: 700 EUR + Certificate<br />
Third Prize: 500 EUR + Certificate<br />
