Are you an innovative student, teacher or professor? Do you want to share your innovative practices and have a greater impact in schools and universities all over Europe and beyond? The Open Education Challenge – launched in partnership with the European Commission - is your opportunity to transform your idea into a successful company and change the way we teach and learn.
The Open Education Challenge invites innovators to submit their proposal by 17 March 2014. Twenty finalists will get a chance to go to Barcelona to pitch their idea, and the 10 winners will participate in the 12-week incubator. The intensive coaching sessions will take place in five successive cities; Barcelona, Paris, London, Berlin, and Helsinki. Each team will be mentored by an expert from the field of education, entrepreneurship, or technology. The winners will have access to up to €20.000 in seed capital, and at the end of the incubator they will present their projects to the Open Education Investment Club with the possibility to secure additional financing.
