Apply for the YUFE Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programmes

The Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE), led by Maastricht University, is launching new activities promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, open to all students enrolled at UM or any of the partner universities in the Alliance.

The YUFE Entrepreneurship and Innovation programme consists of two new initiatives: the YUFE Challenge Teams and the Entrepreneurial Programme.

Read on for more information and how to apply.

As part of the YUFE Challenge Teams, institutions and companies from different sectors, as well as the general public, have proposed a series of real-life challenges to the working teams that they will need to solve and deliver innovative solutions at social, scientific, and technological levels. This activity will take place in multidisciplinary teams in which students from YUFE universities can participate.

Students can apply to be part of a YUFE team until 20 June 2021. Please sign up timely via this link if you are interested in participating in the first YUFE challenge teams:

  • Understanding rapid sharing of medical patient data for combating pandemics and other diseases
  • Fight against intolerance: awareness of verbal violence in political speeches and meetings

The YUFE Entrepreneurial Programme aims to promote students’, staff and the general public’s entrepreneurial skills, by guiding participants using training resources that will allow them to acquire these new skills. There will be two types of resources available in this first edition:

  1. MOOCs are free online open courses, chosen from the best universities and/or prestigious organisations, which information will be available on the YUFE website.
  2. The Talk Shows programme consists of a series of talks given by experts from the field of innovation. They will be offered online by Alliance universities over a ten-month period. Each session will last two hours, the first of which will be open to the general population and the second will be reserved for YUFE students.

Pre-registration will be required in order to attend all of these activities. Please sign up by 10 June the latest via this link. Calls for registration and upcoming events can be found through this link.

Taking part in these activities will allow students to work towards the YUFE Star System, and in particular, the YUFE Professional Star.
