Research Project 2026-2027
About
Do you want to spend six weeks in Brazil in the summer of 2027 with 17 other students, working on a real consultancy case for a real company? Then this is your chance.In November we select 12 motivated students who, together with the 6 committee members, form the Research Project 2027 team. In July 2027 the team flies to Brazil for six weeks: five weeks of full-time field research in pairs, followed by one week of travelling together. Throughout the year you receive trainings from leading consultancy firms and build your network with top companies.
Course of the Research Project
The preparation period (December – June) takes approximately 12 to 16 hours per week. During this intense period the team will acquire its own projects by contacting multinational companies. This gives them the opportunity to expand their network and design their own projects. When all of the projects are acquired, the desk research can start where research will be performed prior to the field research.
In July & August the team travels to Brazil to perform full-time field research for 5 weeks, this means that you will spend part of summer 2027 on the other side of the world within a close group of 18 people. Finally, when the team has arrived back in Amsterdam, they will provide their final deliverables and also present the outcomes of the research to the client. Here you can showcase your work and get valuable feedback from professionals.
