Established 20 years ago by Sefa & The University of Amsterdam to allow top students to gain research/consulting experience with real companies internationally. There are 16 students in Sefa Research Project at the end of their study years eager to learn and establish their careers within consulting. 

Costs vary based on project requirements as the costs are calculated depending on the hours and capacity required. However, Sefa Research Project operates on a transparent financial statements policy and we are non-profit where we aim to only cover our costs by the end of the yearly cycle. Additionally, the consultants of Research Project do not earn an income, but rather contribute with their own money to further their education and development within consulting. 

Participants receive professional training from renowned consultancy firms such as KPMG and EY. Additionally, they are guided by esteemed professors from the University of Amsterdam throughout the academic year. This combination of professional and academic support ensures that students are well-prepared to deliver high-quality consultancy services.

The research projects are tailored to the specific needs of participating companies. They can include market and competitor analysis, import and export analysis, consumer profiling, feasibility studies, strategy evaluation, and bespoke research addressing unique challenges faced by the companies. The goal is to provide actionable insights and recommendations to help companies succeed in their target markets.

Companies interested in participating can reach out to the Sefa Research Project team to discuss potential collaboration. The project offers businesses the opportunity to gain valuable insights into new markets and receive customized research tailored to their specific needs.
