All participating students will receive a subsidy of 6 lei/hour for the mandatory practical training hours (according to the university curriculum, depending on each specialization and year of study).

At the end of the internship, one of the teams will receive a prize of 15,000 lei to complete the performance they started, in co-production with Reactor and UAT.
