European Innovation Academy success leads to implementation of North American sister program

July 2019 saw 19 students from the

University of Calgary travel to Cascais,

Portugal for the European Innovation Academy (EIA). The University of Calgary has been sending students to EIA for 5 years, spearheaded by professor Sharaz Khan from the Haskayne School of Business. With the added involvement of the Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking over the past two years, the program has seen tremendous growth in engagement from UCalgary students. This year saw students take part in the program, from the faculties of arts, science, engineering, business, computer science, and nursing.
