EUNICE CONTAMINATION LAB

INTERNATIONAL TEAM WORK

The EUNICE Contamination Lab on-line laboratory is devoted to experience team working and coordination in an interdisciplinary and multicultural team, and to practically experience the challenges of generating an idea and developing it into a feasible project.

The students will learn “by doing” a lean methodology to validate an idea and its entrepreneurial potential.

EUNICE will group registered students into transnational teams and will work together to develop an idea with the support of specialised mentors from academia and industry. During the final event (26th May), teams will present their ideas to an evaluating jury. Best teams will be rewarded with access to the Summer School.

 

ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION

E-CLab aims to bring together the talent of university students in the alliance, through an innovative and informal teaching approach.

From the first day, with the support of designated mentors from the Eunice alliance Universities, the students will be stimulated to propose the activities and ideas that will give life to the project, and can eventually result in proposals for commercialisation of R&D results (e.g. licencing/patenting), academic entrepreneurship (e.g.spin-offs) and student entrepreneurship (e.g. start-ups).

How will we achieve this?

• With the help of an external company specialized in innovation.
• With the help of a partnership of local small medium and large companies.
• With the help of a network to facilitate the students’ access to expertise and resources.
