Cooperations are a central part of PsyCH-Students. We work with universities, professional organizations, initiatives, and broader networks to create exchange, visibility, and student-oriented projects for psychology students across Switzerland.
FEATURED COOPERATION OUTCOME
PsyPRA is one example of what can emerge from cooperation. The platform existed in an earlier phase of PsyCH-Students, went offline during a period of reduced continuity, and was relaunched as part of the organization's renewal. In its current form, PsyPRA was rebuilt in cooperation with Hogrefe AG and Sina Heger from Psychologie und denn? and is hosted via PsychJOB. It now serves again as a centralized internship platform for psychology students in Switzerland.

In practice, PsyCH-Students works with different levels of partnership, sponsorship, and lighter forms of connection, depending on the goals, scope, and continuity of the relationship. This makes it possible to develop cooperations in a structured but flexible way.
Sponsorships provide financial or material support for projects, events, and ongoing organizational work. They may be structured in different tiers depending on the scope of support and agreed visibility.
Partnerships are based on sustained collaboration and shared interests. They focus on exchange, joint initiatives, and recurring cooperation rather than primarily on financial support.
Not every relationship requires a full partnership or sponsorship structure. PsyCH-Students also works with lighter forms of connection where this is more appropriate.
The following organizations, institutions, and initiatives are part of the growing cooperation network of PsyCH-Students.
Together, they support exchange, visibility, practical opportunities, and student-oriented development across Switzerland.
