Project collaboration

We know that one of the things that benefits a CV is to have had one foot inside a company. And in addition, there is an incredible amount of learning to be gained from collaborating with someone outside the university. Fortunately, it is an opportunity for the vast majority of AAU students to do project collaboration.
What is a project collaboration?
When you and your group are going to write your semester project, it is possible to collaborate with a company or an organisation.
This will usually happen in one of two ways:
- The company already has a pre-defined project for you and your group to work on (might e.g. be found on jobbank.aau.dk)
- You and your group make a project proposal that you develop into a final project together with the company
Your supervisor needs to accept the content in order to ensure that you meet the requirements of the semester.
During a project collaboration, you will not spend your days in the company. You will work from home, or at AAU, but you will have a contact person assigned to you from the company, who will provide you with the necessary information.
Get started with the project collaboration
Written agreement on project collaboration
You can use a written agreement to ensure that you and your business partner agree on how the project will proceed. Some companies may also prefer to enter into a non-disclosure and rights agreement.
