Last week, @univlarochelle welcomed EU-CONEXUS students for the mobility week of the Minor in Entrepreneurship โ€œInnovation around Sustainable Tourismโ€.

During this intensive programme, students from across the Alliance worked in teams to develop innovative service, product or concept ideas, guided by creativity exercises, collaborative challenges and entrepreneurial workshops organised with @opencampusinnov , La Rochelle Universitรฉโ€™s innovation hub.

Alongside project work, participants also had the opportunity to discover the local ecosystem. The programme included a lunch and visit to @les_cabanes_urbaines , an eco-responsible community hub dedicated to sustainable food and local initiatives.

The week concluded with a final pitch session, where students presented the projects they had developed throughout the programme. Participants also visited @lamatiere , a circular economy and reuse innovation hub bringing together citizens, organisations and businesses to experiment with low-impact and resource-efficient solutions.

Following this mobility week in La Rochelle, students will now continue the Minor through synchronous and asynchronous courses on Moodle, further developing their entrepreneurial skills within the EU-CONEXUS learning community.

A great example of how EU-CONEXUS connects students, innovation and entrepreneurship across Europe.

A lesser-known fact is that, in Ireland, autumn-sown oats can yield up to three times the global average.
 
As Europe seeks to become more independent in protein production, farmers and scientists are raising a solid question: where does this oat productivity come from, and can we replicate it elsewhere?
