Who can take part and how?
The Incubation Programme is primarily aimed at students and staff of Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences.
To participate, you need an idea. We also recommend ...
-
One meeting per week to reflect on your progress and discuss next steps.
-
a total weekly time investment of approximately 8 hours.
-
an interdisciplinary team, as there will be many different tasks in the programme. This is an advantage, but not absolutely necessary.
