    EBEC is the biggest engineering competition in Europe, provided by BEST in 88 different locations and structured in three rounds: local, national and final. I was the main organizer of the local round of Milano, that involved two companies and more than 300 students. It was divided in two challenges: Case Study, provided by Reply and a Team Design (in which the goal is to build a working prototype from simple materials) by Magneti Marelli. My role was of supervising the entire project, that can be divided in three main focus areas: - Fund raising (calling and meeting companies, find a deal and define roles) - Promotion (presenting during classes, prepare and distribute promotional material, customer care) - Logistics (handling materials, human resources, catering, schedule, participants, technical details)
