Can your solution help universities?

The EdTech working group for educational innovation within the Acceleration Plan is launching the Startup in Residence (SiR) Edtech program. For six months, universities will work together with innovative companies on challenges within higher education, where educational technology offers a possible solution. As a startup, you get the opportunity to work on a solution with a university. During this incubation phase, a mentoring and training program is followed by both parties, focusing on specific themes that are relevant during the process.
