Inspire and RIS Inspire Programmes

The Explore school offers a supplementary and transversal programme for both the Inspire and RIS Inspire programmes, which will give you the opportunity to acquire a set of innovation and entrepreneurship skills by completing the entrepreneurship modules in each school.

In addition, this year there is a new course: right after the Inspire Schools ends, participants will have the opportunity to join the Inspire Impact competition, continue their learning, earn an additional certificate and compete for cash prizes (up to €4000). It is designed to be the final stage of your entrepreneurial journal under Inspire Programmes, focusing on its mission-led approach to address the pressing issues of our food systems. To enrol in the Inspire Impact course, candidates must have attended one of the Inspire Schools. Application opens in July 2024.

The target audience of the Inspire and RIS Inspire Programmes comprises students and young researchers, who benefit by receiving high-quality learning experience from academic members with innovative teaching methods, as well as practical training in collaboration with industry partners and established start-ups from the food sector. 

You could obtain an internationally recognized certifications for you acquired competences (through our EIT Food Accredited courses and EIT Food Assessment certifications) to spend on your career.

You can register for RIS Inspire programmes only if you come from one of the RIS countries.
