Services
Our expertise at your service
A service provision involves making the skills and expertise of our staff available to institutions, public bodies or private companies.
It is tailored to the client’s specific needs and may be a one-off assignment or part of a longer-term arrangement. This type of activity is one of the tasks entrusted to the universities of applied sciences that are members of the HES-SO, with a focus on knowledge-sharing and the transfer of expertise.
