=== Subsequent steps to establish a students self-development as the focus of the UIF program<br/> ===

<div>In the first brainstorm session, the necessity for support for early’s students self-development was established.</div><div>Establishing a space a center and sanctuary for self-development.&nbsp;</div><div><br/></div><div>One approach towards stimulating self-development is offering students feedback and a safe place within which to receive this feedback. The DesignLab at this university could fulfill this function admirably. The goal is to establish this space connected to an easy and repetitive schedule with the ideas of self-driven learning as well as an ethical and moral understanding of once impact. No later than February 2017 should relate events start taking place in the DesignLab. This should allow students to get in touch with the program by the end of the academic year(July 2017).</div><div><br/></div>

== Spring 2017 Priorities ==

Our final priority would be to focus on the lack of communication and collaboration between the board of the university and the students and staff. We would like to have discussion with the UT news and the board about possibly adding a paragraph on the board’s decisions to the end of the monthly student newsletter. We would then like to set up a page on a platform such as loomio, for us to reiterate what that paragraph states and allows students to provide their opinions and suggestions. This format of a pool could enable the board to obtain a more all-encompassing view of what the student body thinks.

<div><div>University of Twente has an exceptionally excellent innovation & entrepreneurship ecosystem. The previous cohort has recognized a lack of awareness of all available opportunities. We still see this as the main point of improvement, and therefore strive to increase awareness, following our predecessors. University of Twente is '''ambitious'''. It wants to be a "European Innovation Hub". An internationally oriented university. Therefore our main focus is working towards a better&nbsp;''Integration of internationals at the University of Twente''.&nbsp;Our goal is to make the UT a more welcome and comfortable place for them.&nbsp;</div><div><br/></div><div>The main goals we try to reach are:<br/></div>

Provide students the possibility to work as an entrepreneur alongside their studies by allowing them to spread their study load over a longer period of time. Currently, this is only possible for students practicing top-level sports or top-level arts. By making this available for entrepreneurs as well we hope to stimulate those students to keep studying while growing their company, which fits well into the slogan of the university “The Entrepreneurial University”.
