Collaborate with the Nodo Creative Hub

Nodo coordinates and organizes paid practical projects for companies, institutions, and public clients, as well as internal projects at HSLU. The projects are carried out as part of a project-based internship. The Creative Hub matches clients with suitable graduates—and, in exceptional cases, students—and supports them both from a business and a creative perspective. It also ensures that the quality of the work meets the clients’ expectations.

Your project is suitable for a Nodo collaboration…

• …if you are looking for creative solutions and fresh perspectives.
• …if you want to promote young talent.
• …if you want to attract potential future employees.

If you are interested in working with graduates, please fill in the application form and send it by email to: nodo@hslu.ch.

The Nodo team will be happy to help with any queries you may have.

We also offer the opportunity for you to carry out real-life industry projects in collaboration with an entire class of students. While these are typically concept studies, the results regularly translate into projects ready for implementation.

Projects are best suited for this format if they have an open outcome and can be planned at least one year in advance.

A BA or MA thesis is one of the key pillars of a study programme.
Nodo gives students the opportunity to complete their bachelor thesis in collaboration with an industry partner.
It allows them to explore issues of relevance in practice and gain valuable insight into existing economic contexts. For a project to be suitable as a bachelor's or master's thesis, it must allow for a great deal of creative freedom and be open-ended.

The Nodo Creative Hub matches graduates with practice partners for both in-house and industry projects.

The participants are closely supervised through all stages of the project and given specialist coaching. Working on these project-based internships and practice projects provides valuable insight into future professional activity and facilitates the transition from studying to working. These projects are carried out outside the regular curriculum.
