Academic Sponsorship

Ansys Academic Sponsorship was created with the purpose of developing strong partnerships with student competition teams.

The ESSS Academic Sponsorship Program consists in offering academic licenses of Ansys products required for the development of the competition product, for a period of 1 year, on lease, to student competition team(s), such as Baja SAE, Formula SAE, SAE Aerodesign, SAE Supermileage, Clean Snowmobile Challenge, Solar Car and Hybrid and, recently, to the COBRUF participant teams.

Throughout the year of the duration of the license, a responsible student or Professor will have guaranteed access to the Ansys Portal, in order to download software, tutorials and other available material.
