Previous editions of the European meetup
UIf European Meetup 2019: Leaders of Innovation and impact
From August 11 to 20, 2019, the University of Twente Innovation Fellows hosted its regional meetup in the Netherlands. With 31 students from over 15 countries joining the program, the stage was set for an amazing nine days full of design thinking, leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as some truly EPIC team dynamics. The central spot of the meetup was the DesignLab, the futuristic student-driven maker space of the University of Twente. Developing leadership skills and an entrepreneurial mindset cannot be done overnight, but apparently, with the right circumstances. Next to the program for the students, several faculty champions joined the first-ever Champions Meetup, which was hosted at the same time as the meetup.
An inspiring quote that reflects the meetup: “Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the science of management says is possible.” – Colin Powell
UIF European Meetup 2018
The summer of 2018 at UTwente was coloured black and white! UIF UTwente took over the entrepreneurial Twente region in the Netherlands for the first-ever UIF European Meetup. During the 4-day meetup Fellows from all over the world joined us for design thinking workshops, company visits, inspiring speakers and the festival vibes. From CEOs of the largest companies in the region, such as the former CEO of Booking.com and the CEO of NEDAP, to decision-makers in politics, such as the Major of Enschede Onno van Veldhuizen, to repelling down campus buildings, this meetup was fully packed with inspiration, innovation and High Tech Human Touch!
