Innovation Research Project (IRP)

The principle:

A team of 4 to 6 final-year engineering students (Bac +5) takes charge of your idea/project/problem related to research or innovation.

First, you define the framework of the project (state of the art).
Once the context is clear, students work on the project in 2 stages called SPRINT :

SPRINT 1: Ideation. The project team, accompanied by the Télécom Saint-Etienne teaching staff, has 3 days to come up with new ideas, possible methods and solutions, and to build the production plan.

SPRINT 2: Production. The project team has 3 days to develop the chosen solution/method (resulting from the ideation phase and validated by the customer). For this, the team will have several resources at its disposal: access to the school’s technological platforms and cutting-edge equipment, and support from technical experts.

Each of these 2 stages ends with a pitch and a summary report for the customer.

To conclude, the teams present their work to the jury and the project leader (valorization).
