Award

26 Nov 2006

Cool. Last Friday I had to go to Brussels to the buildings of the Ministery of Education to defend the project I’ve developed for i-merge while I was doing my internship there. Apparently people liked it very much. Of the 10.000 graduates, a thousand final projects got sent in. Of those 1000, mine ended up with the last 36. So these 36 people had to come and explain their project to a jury that was constructed out of prominent people of all the participating schools and the sponsoring companies.

Well apparently the jury was quite satisfied, seeing I got 170 or something points and became the first of all entries. So together with ten others, I received the Bachelor Award of excellence for 2006 (the sectors were varying from architecture to marketing) and got a certificate that stated I won plus a small amount of cash. Yeey.

I never really thought I’d make it this far, but apparently I did. Thank you, everyone who helped me and encouraged me. Thank you a lot. This is just great. I’ll try to make some time and translate everything I wrote in English and have the project available if possible. For now I’m just really happy.

See all the winners here.

    Congrats Miel!

    I just read at i-merge about the “smartass of the week”-hat that you have to carry for the rest of the week. Have fun! ;-)
