The programme spans over 15 months, starting each year in October and begins with an orientation week in the headquarters of ZF at Friedrichshafen, Germany. Following this, there are four one week workshops/seminars between the individual projects to discuss topics, project management, communication management, intercultural skills etc. The structure of the programme provides for an individual and a team project.
