Internship allocation in CEMS projects (2016-)

Kolos Ágoston and Péter Biró have developed a matching mechanism based on IP techniques for allocating students to company projects at Corvinus University of Budapest, as part of the CEMS network (https://www.cems.org/), coordinated in Budapest by Richárd Szántó. We also assisted in the matching for University of Cologne in April 2018. Our programmers, Dávid Burka and Ádám Halassy, have developed a web-application to facilitate the run of this application for other CEMS universities as well in 2018/2019. This application with two-sided preferences admits a number of distributional requirements on the sizes of teams, and on their compositions with regard to the foreign students and gender-balance, making the underlying matching problem challenging to solve.
