Take a look at the website and the competition. It is for University Students, but i´m sure everyone would love to see you there with all the guys and teams from all over Europe.

Here is a vídeo from my University´s winning flight in 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGD0isgT1Cs

So, see you in Germany August the 7th 2015 ?
