RIS Inspire Summer Schools Programme

The Summer School model is designed to develop skills and capabilities based on entrepreneurship, as well as enhance knowledge relating to the different issues facing the agrifood sector.  Our approach involves making each student a co-builder of their own knowledge with collaborative and problem-solving oriented learning. Importantly they will become aware of the different phases involved in knowledge building, using a path of planning for skills development (from ideation to business creation). 

This project is organized in a way that will avoid the “one-shot” moment, trying to create a smart, creative pipeline for young innovators, making participants aware and possibly active users of all the EIT Food portfolio programmes. The group of entrepreneurs created will be highly multidisciplinary in nature, and very culturally and geographically diverse, making it very different from any other cohort created by local universities or other organizations.
