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”.

The University of Twente has an incredible amount of resources available, but we quickly found a bottleneck: Students don't know that they exist. We had to find a way to get people connected. Not only outside of their friend groups, but outside their study programmes as well. We need to get more people to interact with the facilities on campus and get a stronger flow of ideas going. We summarize it in the theme of student awareness and connectivity.

The websites would be categorized based on organizers (DesignLab, Novel-T, Library, Company Fairs, Week of Inspiration etc.) and on various event categories (entrepreneurial events, social events, cultural events etc.). Interested event organizers can send their subscribable google calendars to be added to the website’s calendar collection.</span></span></span>
