IDEATION CAMP Ideation Camp is an intense four days long learning-by-doing course in which students get a glimpse of the life and traits of an entrepreneur by working in cross disciplinary teams to tackle challenges, come up with solutions, assess and present their ideas. In multidisciplinary teams, participants work on innovative business ideas, supported by dedicated mentors from the Luxembourgish entrepreneurial ecosystem and industry experts. On the final day of Ideation Camp, ideas are presented to a versatile jury, composed of members of the Rectorate of the University, investors and entrepreneurs. So far HIVE organized eight editions of Ideation Camp. I enjoy seeing the creative and resourceful solutions that our students are finding for the challenges of today. The Ideation Camp is an excellent transversal addition to our University programmes. Students learn to work in teams, 11
to share and to prioritise ideas, to work out how to identify a need, how to propose an answer for that need, and,

finally, how to identify (or even to create) the market for that answer!
Prof. Catherine Léglu Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs at the University of Luxembourg We were eager to get our students involved in Ideation Camp for a number of reasons: meet fellow University of Luxembourg students who share their passion for entrepreneurship, learn more about the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Luxembourg and network with the mentors. Our expectations were not only met but exceeded. Our students had an incredible experience.
Prof. Glenn Platt Director of Armstrong Institute for Emerging Technologies at Miami University It is an honour for me to be a part of this initiative. I am always impressed by the level of the projects presented at the Ideation Camps. This underlines the importance of these events, and how useful they are to boost the competences of our students and to prepare them for their future career.
