The Strategic Research Analysis Corporate Projects are proposed by companies or organizations working in the Aviation, Aeronautics and Space industries, to Aerospace Students.
Groups of 4 to 5 students work on a strategic issue that is submitted to them by a company, or other organizations sharing a business development interest.
They work all along the Master of Science Aerospace Management program, from September/October to March, and deliver a written report to the customer company or organization. They also present their main results in a workshop organized two weeks before the end of the MSc Aerospace class (Mid-March).
Based on a real-life case, the strategic research analysis project is a learning experience conducted with the support of the company’s stakeholders as well as TBS professors’ support and check.
These hands-on projects enable students to put in practice diverse skills and knowledge while training them to step back, meet and interact with executives, and take the ownership and the responsibility of the whole mission.
This year three organizations entrusted missions to students from the MSc Aerospace Management under the supervision of Dr. Cordula Barzantny and Dr. Christophe Bénaroya, with notable support from Pierre Jarrige (Alumni of this program). We’d like to express our deep gratitude to:
