How we work
Applied laboratories
Mixed faculty-student teams tackle a real problem submitted by an organisation, with a dated deliverable and a public presentation.
Commissioned projects
An organisation entrusts a topic, the institute assembles the team and runs the schedule. The client keeps ownership of what is produced.
Hackathons
Forty-eight hours open to students from all 5 schools, on a topic of public interest announced in the academic calendar.
Student venture incubation
Ventures born in class are supported through legal structuring, the first commercial offer and the search for funding.
