Competence Center for Knowledge Transfer & Innovation

The Competence Center for Knowledge Transfer & Innovation (WTT) offers paid market research, management concepts, process analyses, IT evaluations, and compliance checks for national and international markets to companies and public institutions of all kinds.  All OST students on the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Business Information Technology degree programme complete two to three of these assignments as their «real-life student consulting projects» during their studies, with the aim of improving their practical expertise. They work in teams and are always accompanied by OST lecturers. The project objectives defined with the clients must be achieved methodically correctly and be directly applicable. The real-life student consulting projects are a strategic pillar and a unique selling proposition (USP) of OST - Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences.

Every year in the fall to mark the end of the projects, the WTT organises the WTT YOUNG LEADER AWARD. At the awards ceremony, the best real-life student consulting project teams in the categories Market Research and Management Concepts are honoured before an audience consisting of students as well as representatives from the worlds of business, politics and science.
