Contact and build relationships with organizations in Prague on behalf of the WPI Prague Project Center.
This project aimed to identify, inform, and establish a relationship with potential sponsors in order to produce a significant number of projects assisting the WPI Prague Project Center in expanding opportunities available to students
While in Prague, this project team researched potential sponsor organizations to establish relationships in Prague and grow the number of project opportunities available to future Prague IQP students. The team interviewed 8 center directors from other WPI global project centers to develop criteria for suitable partners. The team discovered potential organizations through interviews with 2 intermediate contacts in Prague, online research, and personal observations, narrowing their list based on the criteria from the center directors. The team developed an informational presentation about the IQP and delivered it at 7 meetings with representatives from potential WPI partners. The team initiated new relationships which will positively impact future project activity at the Prague center.
