What we do: higher education
Projects with schools
accro entrusts assignments to EM Strasbourg students, sits on the juries of the region’s schools and supports student entrepreneurs.
Workshop3C is not our only point of contact with higher education. accro entrusts assignments to student teams, sits on the degree juries of the region’s schools and supports those who start a business while still studying.
ImpAct thEM, with EM Strasbourg
Every year, EM Strasbourg gives its students assignments submitted by organisations in the region. Teams of four to six people work for three months in the second semester, supervised by a lecturer, with at least three meetings with the client. The deliverable is an exploratory study, and an assignment can lead to an internship.
accro does more than point its members towards the scheme: it submits its own assignments. For 2025-2026, accro submitted six assignments, all built around water as a resource, the theme of the Tango&Scan edition, and entrusted to some forty third-year students on the Grande École Programme.

A broader partnership with EM Strasbourg
An agreement links accro and EM Strasbourg around student entrepreneurship and Tango&Scan. Among other things, EM provides a Booster support programme from La Ruche à Projets open to Tango&Scan applicants, coaches for members’ workshops and a jury member for the call for projects. accro opens its workshops to the school’s entrepreneurs and sits on its entrepreneurship competition. The University of Strasbourg covers the Tango&Scan application fees of student entrepreneurs.
Juries and student entrepreneurship
accro regularly sits on degree juries and student competitions in the region. In 2025: École MJM on 18 June, e-artsup on 20 June, PEPITE ETENA on 3 July. Student entrepreneurship also feeds into Tango&Scan: of the 44 projects interviewed in 2025, 5 held the PEPITE ETENA label.
