The idea is to make a competition throughout the year based on the grades all of them get combined. UCULYMPICS will be a university whole olympic competition in which students will try to get as high grades as they can but with the condition that different years and careers should be included into the team. Teams will need to be formed with multidisciplinary skills from almost all the careers available. This means students will have to talk to people they don’t know, making them get to know strangers and socialize, hence fomenting identification with the university, and then work as a team to get the best grades they can and help each other in an intercarrer way. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2e3df57d-7fff-3d77-9e69-c413e7e41eab"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We as fellows will have to create a Platform of scores and get access to students scholarity. We’ll also take care of the definition of the price, at the moment the idea is a week of free food in the canteen but this could be changed in the future. We ́ll need the information and permission to do this and also to communicate it if it’s accepted.</span></span></p>
