🎓 14th Edition of the IDIADA Meet-Up
On June 10th, we opened our doors to 45 students from universities across the region at Applus+ IDIADA, in a new edition of this initiative designed to bring young talent closer to the professional world.
During the day, participants experienced IDIADA firsthand, exploring key facilities such as the Driving Simulator, the NVH semi-anechoic chamber, the new K&C lab, and the Crash Lab, where safer vehicles take shape. They also visited our Homologations area, including Connected & Automated Vehicles and Industrial Vehicles, where future mobility challenges are addressed. 🚗🔬
There, participants heard inspiring experiences from our team, such as Cristina Gras, currently a trainee who attended the previous Meet-Up, and Beatriz Malpartida, who started her journey at IDIADA as a trainee: “Just a short time ago, I was in your position. Today, I can see how my final thesis project has had a real impact on an internal project.”
A highlight of the day was the interaction with our teams. After a shared lunch, students connected with their potential departments, managers, and teammates.
At IDIADA, we believe the new generation is a key driver of innovation. Their creativity, curiosity, and energy bring fresh perspectives that help shape the future of automotive engineering. At the same time, we are committed to providing an environment where they can learn, grow, and develop their professional careers.
🙏 Huge thanks to all the students who joined us and to everyone who made this Meet-Up possible!
