Studyka: The First “Crowdsourcing” Platform Dedicated to Helping Corporations Tap the Untainted Genius of Europe’s Top Students
What is Studyka?
A huge innovation in the area of “crowdsourcing”, Studyka is a platform for creative collaboration between high-caliber, free-thinking students – untainted by corporate “group think” – and companies or organizations of any size.
The first of its kind, Studyka allows companies and organizations to propose creative and problem solving challenges to Europe’s top students in the areas of innovation, design, strategy, communications, or any other topical area you can think of. Once your challenge is published, the Studyka platform facilitates interactions between students from major schools across Europe allowing them to build diverse, multi-disciplinary teams to best address your group’s needs.
Upon completion of the challenge, your group rewards top student teams with cash or merchandise awards. Many groups also take advantage of this close interaction with top student talent to bring them into the organization for internships or interviews thus enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of recruiting efforts. Studyka is a source of limitless creation and innovation and a unique means to enhance your corporate identity and image with top students that you may well want to recruit into your organization.
What has Studyka done so far?
To date, the organisation has organized two challenge projects: one with Bouygues Construction and the other in partnership with RETIS (an innovation network financed by the French Ministry of the Economy, Industry, and Finance). Our third challenge, for a major European group, is in the works and will be announced shortly. As a frame of reference, the Bouygues Construction challenge involved students from 22 top schools and universities with 13 separate teams submitting proposals for “The Campus of Tomorrow”. The work was outstanding and included several 3D models of proposed concepts.
Coming Soon
While the first two challenges were conducted in French, the English language platform is nearing completion and will be ready for international challenges in the very near future.
