The ECIU E-Campus project aims to create a transnational entrepreneurial ecosystem that helps transform student ideas and university research results into market-ready business solutions. The project will also conduct research examining the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education, innovation readiness and the factors influencing the commercialisation of research results. The evidence generated will be used to develop and improve entrepreneurship programmes and business support mechanisms.
Project funding:
European Institute of Innovation and Technology Programme (EIT)
Project results:
The project will deliver research- and evidence-based recommendations on improving entrepreneurship education and the commercialisation of research results. It will also develop transnational entrepreneurship and early-stage venture programmes, micro-credentials, AI-supported idea validation tools and a structured pathway from research- or education-based ideas to incubation. Around 5,150 participants will be trained, while 80 student teams and 8 start-ups will receive support.
Period of project implementation: 2026-09-01 - 2027-08-31
