The YUFE alliance launches a programme to promote entrepreneurship and innovation

The YUFE Alliance (Young Universities for the Future of Europe), which the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) is part of, opens June 3rd 2021 an application period to take part in activities promoting entrepreneurship and innovation which are aimed at students and staff from the universities that form the Alliance, as well as the general population. The programme, organized by the YUFE Innovation and Entrepreneurship Working Group led by UC3M, consists of two initiatives: the YUFE Challenge Teams and the Entrepreneurial Training Activities, which include a series of MOOCs and Talk Shows. This programme is part of the activities YUFE offers in its commitment to multidisciplinary and multicultural training. As part of the YUFE Challenge Teams, institutions and companies from different sectors, as well as the general public, will propose 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. For its part, the Entrepreneurial Training Activities aim 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: MOOCs are free online open courses, chosen from the best universities and/or prestigious organisations, whose information will be available on the YUFE website.
