Thematic areas

This section details the thematic areas linked to subjects in the spring semester of the 2025/26 academic year (September-January), in which there is space to work on business challenges. This makes it easier for the challenge to be developed in the classroom during this period.

If your proposal does not fit into any of these areas, you can also suggest a new one. In this case, we will assess its feasibility and see if it is possible to integrate it.
