Collaboration opportunities

We offer 2 main collaboration opportunities:

  • Data challenges (solved by Bachelor's or Master's students)

    Do you have data readily available, and a fairly specific business question? Our Business Analytics students could help you with your data challenges faced in your organisation and write their thesis based on this data challenge. 

    • Let our student groupsy solve your data challenge – get multiple innovative solutions.
    • Duration: 12 weeks in the spring.
    • Costs: There are no costs attached to this project. You will only need to share data and invest a few hours to explain your challenge.
  • Collaborative research projects (conducted by Master's or PhD students)

    Do you have business analytics questions but lack the time to solve them? Work with us to collaborate on an analytics project in which we will analyse existing and possibly newly collected data and provide you with actionable insights.

    • We take your AI challenges and develop actionable solutions.
    • Duration: a few months for masters research, and up to 4 years for PhD projects
    • Cost: Pay for students’ research time, share data and invest time to collaborate.

Collaboration

Art Criminality Analyses

AI4Business Lab collaborated with the Reinwardt Academie to analyse the provenance and authenticity of artifacts sold on Catawiki. Using data collected by Reinwardt’s students, we discovered that provenance statements differ significantly across an artifact’s cultural region.
