Opis: The INDUSAC project, launched in 2022 under Horizon Europe, connected industry and academia by involving students in solving real-world problems. Coordinated by the Jožef Stefan Institute, INDUSAC paired companies with international, interdisciplinary teams of students for co-creation projects lasting 4–8 weeks, based on multiple calls for applications. This article evaluates student engagement across three call periods – February to May 2024, June to October 2024, and November 2024 to July 2025 – using surveys before and after the projects. Results showed high initial student confidence and measurable improvements in skills such as negotiation and international teamwork. Satisfaction with the process and online platform increased among both students and companies, indicating effective adaptation based on feedback. While companies appreciated student creativity, they expressed a need for greater market viability. These findings validate INDUSAC’s co-creation mechanism, enhancing knowledge transfer while fostering an environment that prepares students for successful global careers.
