Innovation Challenges for Students: Discovery Week in Romania
Do you want to test your innovative mindset together with students from Europe? The EUTOPIA innovation challenge for students will be arranged at Babes-Bolyai University in April. The event engages students in collaborative partnerships and challenge-based initiatives with stakeholders from the public and private sectors. You will gain a ton of experience and get a chance explore the city Cluj. Eight students for the University of Gothenburg will have the chance to go!
You will work on an entrepreneurial project together with students from a mix of the 10 EUTOPIA Alliance universities, aiming to solve a real problem from one of these fields:
- Sustainability and Circular Economy Models (for example, strategies that reduce waste, enhance resource efficiency, and foster sustainable practices in a specific industry)
- Cybersecurity Strategy for Small and Medium Enterprises (for example, addressing key aspects such as threat detection, data protection, and employee training, ensuring a robust defence against evolving cyber threats)
- AI and Health Economics (for example, innovative AI tools, applications, or systems for healthcare practices that also prioritize economic efficiency, affordability, and resource optimization).

8 students from each EUTOPIA University will be able to participate. Each team will be composed of 5 students from a mix of universities and study backgrounds.
