Would you like to take part in a week full of innovation? Did you miss the first edition of the EELISA Entrepreneurship School? If so, this is your chance to participate on its second round, this time during EELISA Days!

The EELISA Entrepreneurship School is a designed for EELISA students and staff from all disciplines. Participats can apply either as an ideator, with a first business idea; or as a co-creator, motivated to join another participant’s business idea during the programme.
