Use OSV students to help you with one or more of your in-company projects

Students from both the "Performance Sports Textile & Footwear" and the "International Sales Specialists in Sports" Bachelor's programs, at the Univeristé de Savoie's IUT Annecy Technical Institute, take courses specifically designed to meet the needs of the outdoor sports industry. In order to ensure that students gain as much in-company experience as possible before they graduate, IUT and OSV allow them to participate in a professional project within a company in the outdoor industry.

For a company, involving the students in a new or ongoing project is a way to accelerate a study or concept, or to develop a new idea, as well as to grow and professionalize both education programs.

If you have a product development and/or a business development project for which you would like a dedicated team (2 to 3 people) for 120 hours from September 2015 to February 2016, please feel free to let us know by sending an email to ann(at)outdoorsportsvalley.org. Using students for a project will cost 500 €, which will contribute to financing non-classroom related activities (company visits, travel to ISPO, etc.).

Below are examples of projects students complete in past years:


- Study: the running apparel market - WL GORE
- Function analysis and benchmark on the wearability and comfort of backpacks used in outdoor sports - AGENCE AIR
