On Friday, May 20, 2022, CEMS students, corporate partners, and academic tutors gathered to present the results of their Business Projects. This year, the final presentations took place in hybrid form with most participants joining the event in person at VSE. For the first time, students are also voting for the best Business Project and thus have a chance to affect the nomination for the CEMS Business Project of the Year.

There was a total of 9 teams, each working on a project from a different corporate partner, including two cross-border projects:

Business Project within the CEMS Programme

The Business Project is a consultancy-like project. International teams of 4-6 students solve a real business problem as a one-semester part-time activity tutored by both the company and an academic tutor in parallel. Business projects reinforce the CEMS partnership between universities, students, and companies. It amounts to 15 ECTS.

Students are thus offered the opportunity:

to gain insight into business life
to train their analytical and problem-solving skills
to apply research methods
to transfer theoretical knowledge into practice
to learn process management
to acquire social skills
to get to know potential employers and re-define their professional goals

Students are expected:

to take responsibility for the project
to strive for the best results
to share the workload equally within the team
to communicate well with their tutors

Project results are evaluated by academic and corporate supervisors. Students write a report and give an oral presentation, both as a group.

Topics for Summer Term 2021/2022:

Student teams also present the results of their Business Projects to the top management of a particular company.

VŠE CEMS Team would like to thank all the students, company representatives, and tutors for their efforts throughout the whole term.
