For seven years now, the European Young Entrepreneurs Awards, Innovact-L’Etudiant have, with the support of the European Commission enabled young students to implement their projects at European level. If you are a student with *a creative idea * for a business project, you can with a team or individually, take part in the seven edition of the Innovact Awards for Innovation whose aim is to reward new and challenging projects. Your project can either be in its design stage, in progress or already launched. The selection committee composed of professionals (heads of companies, journalists, scientists) and presided over by Luuk BORG, head of the Eurostars Programme Office within the EUREKA Secretariat will reward the candidates who – whatever the product or activity- show imagination as creators. All students can take part in the competition either individually or within the framework of their institution. However, the reputation or prestige of the institution will not influence the final decision, which will depend entirely on the quality of the projects presented.
