ValdrinKoshi, youhave received the
2010Best InternshipAward. Canyou
tell uswhat thismeans for you?
“I’m honored to have received this
award. It’s the best way to conclude my
internship! It gives credit to the work
carried out but also to the quality of my
diploma. At EURECOM I had the possibil-
ity to learn about state-of-the-art technol-
ogies and innovative concepts in a prag-
matic and effective way; the professors are
passionate researchers able to transmit
their passion to students. I saw the effec-
tiveness of my track of studies directly on
the field during my internship. At SAP’s
Research Labs in Paris, interns can dem-
onstrate their value through facts, and
that’s what I did: I used my knowledge
to design and develop a mobile applica-
tion leveraging existing SAP solutions; it
extends SAP Business Objects Explorer by
relating business information with user
location and orientation”.
“Since the beginning, my work has
been supported bymy academic (Raphael
Troncy fromEURECOM, Giovanni Malnati
from Politecnico di Torino, Sara Comai
fromPolitecnico di Milano) and industrial
(Ali Meziani, Alexis Naibo, Timo Elliot)
tutors. I also benefited from the sponsor-
ships of clients: there are fewplaces where

“This award is a wonderful way to end
a journey that saw my work being inte-

a patent filed, and a long-term contract
right after my internship”.
