Founder's Garage

The idea

The module intends to give you the opportunity to work on your own projects, develop and evaluate your ideas and find ways to realize them. At the same time, we offer you a theoretical background in entrepreneurship and project management.

In Founder's Garage you design solutions for real-world problems. Small interdisciplinary teams of 3 to 5 students guided by a mentor from business or university evolve ideas into business concepts.

Content

You develop ideas, in an area you are interested in. Ideas can be about an actual science-related topic, a solution to a common problem or something that helps other students… it is your choice.

In Founder's Garage, you get a crash course on time and project management and gain insight into the entrepreneur world. You receive support from mentors and experts, visit workshops and presentations, and work on your concept.
