From guest lectures to innovation projects: manage university relations strategically
University relationships often grow from individual contacts: an institute here, a career service there, a local career fair in the fall. Studyond brings all your activities together in one place, from guest lectures and applied projects to theses, internships, and entry-level roles. For the first time, you can reach the right universities and study programs centrally through one interface.
Studyond is a quality-assured platform that grew out of an Innosuisse research project initiated by ETH Zurich, the University of St. Gallen (HSG), and Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST). The Swiss Employers' Association, economiesuisse, and several chambers of industry and commerce took part as implementation partners. Today, Studyond is an official HSG Spin-Off and ETH Startup. In 2026, it was accepted into the MITdesignX Startup Accelerator Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
From local SMEs to international corporations: 320+ organizations already use Studyond to build, maintain, and strategically develop their relationships with universities and universities of applied sciences.
