The public list is currently being assembled. We will display only collaborators who have confirmed their involvement and consented to the publication of their profile.

For safety and privacy, student requests will be routed through the official ONIA channel rather than personal contact details.

Do you need help or want to contribute?

Students can ask for guidance, while teachers, university students, and specialists can propose a session for the preparation programme.
