With this course, students will have the opportunity to share their cultures, perspectives and ideas, while learning from DEMI and UNIDEMI professionals.
 
The course will be attended by 22 students from all over Europe, promoting a multicultural experience. BEST Courses have main components: academic, social and cultural.
 
The academic part will be guaranteed by 4 DEMI teachers and UNIDEMI researchers: Aneesh Zutshi, Ana Sofia Esteves, Belma Rizvanović and Fernanda Llussá. The course will also include a visit to the Madan Parque startup incubator and a panel discussion about startups.
