Challenging students on projects
Students at Centrale Lyon are mobilized several times a year to find solutions to business needs.
The projects proposed to students are genuine business questions, submitted by organizations anxious to shed new light on an issue or eager to push dormant innovations. The students' proposal in response to a project must be the best possible solution.
The company benefits from the skills of student engineers to implement a project of its own. The project can cover a variety of fields and themes, and always corresponds to a concrete problem.
