The project was a partnership between 3 Universities: Hogeschool van Amsterdam, Technical University Cluj-Napoca and Babes-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca. 3 students from the first, 1 from the second and me and a class mate from ours.
The students from HvA came with the business intel we needed in order to ask the right questions for the report, whereas finding the data sources would be on the side of students from Cluj-Napoca (it was easier to find sources for this report in Romanian).
All of us needed to establish a grounding on terminology about taxation in order to fulfill this report.
I am still not sure if we are allowed to publish the findings in our report. I’m waiting for a reply.
The project spanned on a time period of 2 months from mid-March till mid May, with a one week visit of students from HvA in Cluj-Napoca in the end of the period.
After the final presentation at Endava’s subsidiary in Cluj-Napoca, we obtained the second place (out of 9 teams) for the quality of report, the utility of our findings and other factors I am unaware of. The grading body was consisted of 2 Managers @ Endava. One from the headquarters in NL and one from Cluj-Napoca.
During this project I got to improve my skills in data research, critical thinking, team building and team work (in an intercultural environment), remote work (we worked on the project remotely for the beginning of the 2 months period).
It was also a good opportunity to improve my overall perspective on IT market in Cluj-Napoca, in Romania and to compare it with other countries but also to see how legislation works in the dynamics of a company like Endava, observing movements and decisions willing to be made and the need of quality reports provided to the decision makers.
