EuroTeQ Collider: Entrepreneurship & Innovation

1ZMETU10
Entrepreneurship

Over deze cursus

During this innovation-learning journey to enhance your understanding of the societal challenges we face, you will co-create solutions towards sustainable
futures. 

The Collider is the signature challenge-based co-creation activity of the EuroTeQ Engineering University, a corporation between leading universities of science and technology, spread across Europe, situated in innovation eco-systems and with great collaboration experience. The Collider is based on a process of selecting and working with multi-stakeholder driven ideas and challenges within a selected theme. More information about the specific challenges will be published online via:

The structure of the Collider will allow one to form and participate in interdisciplinary – international teams consisting of students from diverse study levels i.e. Bachelor, Master and Doctoral and in collaboration with lifelong learners. Together you will work on an open-ended challenge, from ideation to prototyping, including iterative validation all though out the project. During this learning process, you will develop a broad set of skills aiming at improving your capabilities to: a) offer an innovative and entrepreneurial solution that is not only technically but also socially impactful, financially sustainable and legally doable. b) address uncertainty and acting while being out of your comfort zone.

At the end of the Collider all participants will pitch their results in a European context and have a chance to be selected to join the EuroTeQaThon in June, and/or to join a week-long Entrepreneurial Bootcamp training. The ultimate goal of these events is to enhance your learning experience and journey, and collectively develop solutions and actionable opportunities to co-create sustainable futures.
