Project Firefly stands for equality of opportunity, innovation and openness for bright and inspired minds
About
We passionately believe in creating genuine opportunities for our members based entirely on the merit of their work.
Project Firefly creates different challenges and community activities throughout the year offering students, recent graduates and young professionals opportunities to connect with forward thinking leaders and organizations around the world.
We empower ambitious young talent to develop their skills, differentiate themselves, earn interviews, projects, internships and jobs.
Founded in 2012 today we connect with hundreds of thousands of tomorrow’s leaders across 187 countries and more than 3000 institutions.
Academic Review Board
We are proud to have associated with us a distinguished group of world-renowned university professors, organized into Project Firefly’s Academic Review Board (ARB).
The board members are publicly committed to the goals of Project Firefly and to the highest professional standards. For example, each submission will be reviewed on a "double blind" basis; the contributor won't know the identity of their academic reviewer and vice versa.
Merit alone determines recognition and publication decisions on Project Firefly.
Members of the Academic Expert Review Board:
Give guidance to members, evaluate their submissions and recognize top performers.
Provide valuable advice on possible competition themes and on attaining the goals of each initiative.
Encourage the participation of university students and recent graduates.
