For the 4th year in a row, ECIU University invites students to participate in challenges and micro-modules – a unique opportunity to gain new skills, connect with like-minded peers, and work together with businesses and communities to provide innovative solutions to real-life problems.

Join a global community, discover over 30 new learning opportunities – and make a real impact.


FROM FASHION TO OPEN DATA: WHAT LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE?

At ECIU University, we offer two kinds of learning opportunities. For challenges, we pick real-life problems that communities are struggling with – and engage diverse teams of learners to come up with a possible solution by working closely with international businesses, organizations, and local communities.

Micro-modules are short courses aimed at helping students improve their skills, fill their knowledge gaps, and broaden their perspectives on various subjects – from urban data analytics to gender studies.  

Currently, students can apply to more than 30 upcoming learning opportunities. A challenge from Kaunas University of Technology and an e-commerce giant Vinted hopes to transform the fashion industry and promote sustainability by changing the perception of second-hand clothing. Another challenge, created in collaboration between Sant Joan Despí City Council and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, seeks to promote equal opportunities in the neighborhoods that have welcomed immigrants. Meanwhile, the University of Trento has partnered with Dedagroup and OpenMove to leverage open data and develop creative and practical citizen-centric services with it – making yet another step toward the cities of tomorrow.

You can discover even more challenges and micro-modules on our engage.eciu platform. Just sign up at the engage.eciu platform, browse through the learning opportunities and apply to the ones that excite your interest. Possibilities are endless – you only choose the impact you want to make!
