The EUPeace Entrepreneurship & Innovation Week will be held from 1-5 June 2026, hosted by the University of Limoges. The five-day immersive programme brings together students and staff from across the EUPeace Alliance to explore entrepreneurship as a driver of social innovation, peace, and sustainable development
Entrepreneurship Night: 24-hour challenge
The week centres around the 24-hour Entrepreneurship Night, starting 2 June 2026. Teams of students from different universities work together to develop an innovative project in response to a challenge linked to EUPeace’s core themes — social innovation, peace & resilience, and sustainable development. Supported by mentors and coaches throughout the night, teams then pitch their projects to a jury composed of academics, EUPeace representatives, and professionals on the morning of Day 3.
Additional programme
Beyond the challenge itself, the programme includes cultural visits in Limoges, team-building activities at Reynou, a thematic masterclass, and optional visits to university research platforms. It aims to foster entrepreneurial skills, encourage intercultural exchange, and promote collaborative innovation.
Registration required
This event is open to all students (Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD levels) as well as administrative staff from partner universities, with a maximum of 25 participants. Please note that in order to participate, registration is required. You can register in advance until 3 May using this form.
