ExtraCurricular Course on Entrepreneursship (ECCE)

The ExtraCurricular Course on Entrepreneurship (ECCE) is your first introduction to entrepreneurship. In this hands on course, you will receive a short introduction to the weekly topic, after which you will work in teams with fellow entrepreneurial students from all faculties to put your new entrepreneurial skills in practice. Every evening ends with a guest speaker, sharing their real life experiences.

Whether you want to find out if entrepreneurship is for you, or you are looking to develop your ideas and perhaps even find future team members - there are plenty of opportunities for everyone.

Who can attend?

Our sessions are open for any (PhD) student from the UG and (if places available) others who wish to participate. We have a 100 spots up for grabs!
