Viator, EFST and PMF award the best student projects
October 26, 2026
Good ideas become even more valuable when they have the chance to move from the classroom into the real business world. That was the idea behind a student project organised by Viator d.o.o., the company behind Last minute rent a car, in cooperation with the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism in Split (EFST) and the Faculty of Science in Split (PMF).
The project concluded on 23 October 2026 with a special award ceremony recognising four winning teams. The total prize fund was 10,000€ with the best team in each category receiving 2,500€.
Turning academic knowledge into practical solutions
The competition was created for final-year undergraduate and graduate students from EFST and PMF. Working in teams, students had the opportunity to apply what they had learned at university to real business challenges connected with Viator and the car rental industry.
The topics focused on innovation and business development, ranging from AI-driven sales personalisation to analytics, new approaches to business management and ESG strategy. The goal was not simply to present an interesting idea, but to develop a solution with clear practical value.
Four teams, four winning solutions
Throughout the project, student teams developed their proposals by combining business thinking, data and technology, before presenting their solutions to an expert committee. Following the evaluation, one winning team was selected in each of the four categories.
The four winning teams were recognised for the quality of their projects, their approach to the challenge and the potential of their proposed solutions. Each received 2,500€, bringing the total prize fund to 10,000 EUR.
