The Erasmus University Challenge is the university's first introduction to entrepreneurship, offering a platform for students to explore innovation and business development. This competition is open to all students from all universities — Bachelor, Master, PhD, and PDEng — who are eager to turn their ideas into reality.
'The university not only offers added value in education and research but also serves as a hub for entrepreneurship. Ideas and innovations born out of the Erasmus University Challenge create a real, lasting impact on society.'
Professor Annelien Bredenoord
