Based on the submitted dossier of candidates' works, three committee members conducted a half-hour interview with the candidates selected for the second selection stage. The conversation recognizes the candidate's personality characteristics, way of thinking, personal life experience, and character attributes. 

From the description, it is clear how important, even crucial, the recruitment stage of the educational process for the course is. It can be compared to the decision to cast an actor made by an artist embarking on the realization of his following work. The complex structure of the recruitment procedure makes it possible to recognize the candidate's talent, creativity, and intelligence, but also to assess his diligence, leadership abilities combined with conciliatory skills, pressure resistance, and finally, that irrational element that nevertheless constitutes the primary tool of an artist's work - charisma. 

Applications for DIGICREA 2025-2027 are open until 15/02/25 midnight (French time).
