Proposal
Please repeat the following if you are applying to more then one of our projects.
Overview
- Provide a brief overview of your proposed solution and objectives you want to achieve with your chosen project.
- Please include programming languages and technologies you plan to use.
Detailed
Describe your proposed solution in as much detail as you can. Explain what algorithms/technologies you intend to use/study (if any). You can also include links to additional details like diagrams, etc., outlining your ideas acting as supplementary information for your proposal outside of this scope.
Project Plan
How do you plan to spend your summer? Please include a preliminary plan, broken down by pre-Midterm and post-Midterm, on how you think you can fulfill your project in the time allocated. Try to be as specific and realistic as you can with your goals and timeline.
The project plan and its timeline will form a significant part of the assessment of your application, as well as mid-term and final evaluations.

What to expect from your mentor (and what your mentor expects from you)
If you are selected to GSoC 2018 with the GRASIA group, you can expect the following:
- We recognize that the goals may change during the project, and the mentors will accept modifications to the goals at any time. But they are also expecting to see reasonable effort go into the initial project timeline. Any changes to your goals or plan are expected to be immediately communicated to your mentor.
- Your mentor will discuss with you any specific status updates or any other regular communication they expect from you as well as which methods they prefer for documentation and collaboration (Google Docs, wiki, etc.).
- The project plan and timeline you set forth in your application will also form a significant part of your mid-term and final evaluations.
