The main options for anyone wishing to request a piece of research, a study or an applied project at the USI, or to offer to work jointly with USI on a research or other project, are to:

• commission one of the USI institutes;
• agree on a field project, that is an applied project to be run by Master’s students under the supervision of a professor;
• propose a thesis to a student through a professor.

For a field project, it is possible to contact the Career Service.

To discuss the commissioning of a case study / research or a thesis, it is possible to apply directly to a professor or an institute, or contact the Institutional Communication Service, which will assist in identifying the most appropriate potential contact point.

Businesses, institutions and other employers wishing to advertise a job or work placement to graduates or students of the USI should complete the work placement/job offer form, available from the Career Service.

Anyone requesting support for an innovative entrepreneurial idea can contact the USI Startup Centre. CP Start-up helps graduates and undergraduates, from USI or other higher education institutions in Switzerland and abroad, to turn an idea or a project into an entrepreneurial initiative.

Swiss businesses and institutions interested in offering commercial promotions to USI students and staff can communicate their offer by e-mail to [email protected].
