This contest is addressed to all newly graduates and near-graduates in both technical and economic/commercial disciplines, whose thesis concerns the Fluid Power sector (hydraulics and/or pneumatics).
Particular attention will be paid to thesis about the following topics:
-energy efficiency/saving applied to machinery;
-technological innovation of materials and/or components aimed at system optimization/simplification;
-integrated mechatronic drives.

A specific Commission formed by experts from member associations, after a careful analysis and consideration, will choose and award the four most meritorious thesis, awarding a €2,000 prize to each of them.
Applications for admission to the competition must be:
