In an application for an internship I am required to talk about the list of preferred projects.
One of these project is a generalization of the work I've seen being presented in my department and thought it was interesting (and I've somehow looked into this internship because I knew the author of the project).
Is it a good idea to mention it? I've also interacted with the speaker (whom I previously invited to speak at summer school and works in a field similar to mine).
I am unsure on whether it is something that is worth flagging or if I should focus on more concrete reasons for my interests given the short amount of space.
