The world needs more innovative and entrepreneurial universities – is your university up to the task?
Dear UIIN friend,
Entrepreneurship and innovation have long been acknowledged as the building blocks of a competitive and prosperous society. Over the last few years, universities have assumed a prominent role in driving this forward. In their transformation towards becoming more entrepreneurial, however, universities encounter countless issues in their multifaceted quest to become more innovative in their approaches, engage with
industry and maximise the impact of research.

The conference venues have been selected with just as much care. The Meervaart Theatre is conveniently located for all types of transport, as well as beautifully located next to the Sloterplas lake. For the conference dinner we will move to the bustling center of Amsterdam where we will dine and dance at the trendy Kanarieclub!
