A flagship programme of the Circle U. alliance

Designed for Master’s and PhD students with a strong interest in sustainable development, the Entrepreneurship for Change programme takes you on a unique European journey. The goal? Turning ideas into action by bringing together diverse approaches, cultures, and areas of expertise.

The programme will kick off online on 10 November, with weekly sessions every Wednesday evening until December. It will conclude with an in-person final event in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, from 8 to 12 December, where participants will present their projects to a European jury. This experience will allow you to gain valuable skills in innovation, teamwork, and project management.
Applications close on 15 September.
