About the Erasmus University Challenge


A little information about the Challenge

The third edition of the Erasmus University Challenge offers students the opportunity to further develop their own, ingenious ideas, prototypes and research projects into business plans. The main purpose and mission is to challenge students to create great, out-of-the-box thinking innovative solutions for societal problems and translate them into real products and business plans, while interacting and making use of the expertise from our innovative and very knowledgeable partners.

The contest is an entrepreneurial and innovation competition for all students at Erasmus University. Erasmus University is using the contest as a means to bring the academic institution, students, government institutions, companies and organisations together in a community where innovation, entrepreneurship and co-creation are key. Students at all levels of Erasmus University (Bachelor, Master, PhD’s, PDEng’s) are encouraged to pitch their creative ideas and projects and further develop them into a feasible concept. Community building and co-creation with the business community is essential for this and of great added value for students at Erasmus University as well as for companies and organisations belonging to the Erasmus University Challenge’’s partner network.
