Innovation@RGU

Here at RGU we understand that the jobs of the future are the ones machines cannot do. These jobs rely on creative expression, social interaction, collaboration, compassion and self-awareness.

Entrepreneurship and innovation are key ingredients in achieving this and are threaded through everything we do. We want to prepare you for the innovation economy, equip you with the transferable skills, enterprising knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours to adapt to changes throughout your career. There are a number of options available to you:

The Innovation Masterclass Series; an opportunity to learn from leading business and industry figures who share their experiences of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Innovation Skills and Tools Workshops; a suite of free and extra-curricular short courses to equip you with essential expertise for the next generation of jobs and industries.

The RGU Innovation Accelerator; a five-month programme of training, support and funding for teams of entrepreneurial students, staff or alumni from RGU and North East Scotland College (NESCol). The programme has been adapted to fit the global circumstances to focus on teams solving specific challenges. The Innovation Accelerator builds on and evolves from two successful cohorts of the RGU Startup Accelerator but expands our focus to include innovative projects, social enterprises and initiatives as well as startups.
