Using a unique, three-sided matching approach, we connect students, universities (of applied sciences), and companies to foster socially relevant and impactful thesis and research projects. Who is behind Studyond? Studyond serves as the technical implementation partner for an Innosuisse-backed initiative, collaborating with top research institutions including ETH Zurich, the University of St. Gallen (HSG), and OST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences. Our implementation partners also include the Swiss Employers’ Association and Economiesuisse. What drives Studyond?
