At Hephaestus, we're on the lookout for curiosity and talent. We draw in forward-thinking students who are fueled by a deep passion for AI and a natural inclination to explore the cutting-edge of technology.

If you're eager to be part of our community, you have a couple of pathways to choose from:

• Active membership: members who actively participate in one of the association's projects, are part of one of the association's teams, contribute to the association's social media page or are involved in making the association function. In order to become an active member, all new members must pass a selection.

• Membership: this type of membership is open to all, and it grants members the access to all events and meetings hosted by the association, just without actively contributing to any of the projects.

Like all Bocconi associations, we are required to establish a membership fee. For the 2024-2025 academic year, this has been set to €0.

To be eligible you need to be currently enrolled at Bocconi University. Hephaestus is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. We require a very strong passion for AI and some free time to dedicate to the association. You do not necessarily have to be BAI, BEMACS, DSBA, AI students to apply, we consider every kind of background!
