Projects and tutored internships
A LEVER FOR INNOVATION AND INTEGRATION
As a result of collective engagement, projects and tutored internships allow the integration of students and young talents into your teams for specific missions. A winning collaboration for integration and the future.
Exploratory studies
A FIRST STEP TOWARD SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION
An exploratory project brings innovative topics to the forefront and helps unlock technological barriers. You test new ideas and concepts, identify opportunities, and prepare for more in-depth research.
When Fico Mirrors approached us, the objective was clear: to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and optimise working conditions in several strategic positions. Over a period of six weeks, our students conducted an in-depth analysis, identified areas for improvement and designed training programmes tailored to the company's needs. A fruitful collaboration for all.
