In case of interest, make sure to submit your application by September 30, 2025 to xhinv02@vse.cz.

Each application should include a short statement (maximum 250 words) explaining why the applicant wishes to participate in this challenge, which combines a real-life business case with a physically demanding mountain hike.

The hosting company requires a complete list of participants in advance, including some of their private data. Therefore, no cancellations will be possible once a student has submitted their application.

Elevation gain during the hike: approximately 1,000 meters.
