Project Lever

We made a partnership with Praxis Network - the best projects/internships in Europe!

PRAXIS is based in Portugal. Originally, the network was founded to offer opportunities for the engineering students, but now the network has grown to encompass the opportunities from many different fields. Among the 44 original partner universities, many were from the technical area, and the majority of offers came from the technical companies. The network of partnerships is still growing, and now includes over 120 universities around Europe. They are expanding to India, are about to sign a contract with Nepal, and plan expansion to the United States.

These days, now that PRAXIS has grown, there are still a lot of technical opportunities, but many more - including marketing, hotel services, tourism, in addition to traditionally technical opportunities in mechanical, electrical engineering, and even aerospace and space engineering.

Our founder published an editorial on educational technology in Forbes today! We talk about the need for innovation around research administration and innovation at universities.

"The need for research innovation is arguably strongest at universities. Higher education is a vast market, in no small part due to the research enterprise. Last year, universities in the U.S. received nearly $70 billion in funding for research in science and the humanities, of which most was from the federal government. Funding for academic research is also growing rapidly internationally, such as in China, whose total research and development spending is now second only to the U.S.

Despite the scale of this research engine, technological progress has been slow to reach the mechanics of scholarly progress. Many faculty members report spending as much time on research as they do on administrative tasks. A commissioned review of the University of California Los Angeles pointed out that the university spends about a billion dollars a year on research but lacks a “formal, guiding technology strategy for research administration.”
