Hackathon was held as part of the ENDORSE project

May 02, 2024

On 24 April, the usual study process at the Faculty of Economics and Management was replaced by a joint, creative activity for all 1st to 3rd year students together. The students took part in the business idea hackathon "Start up your business here".  Alongside Ventspils University of Applied Sciences, such a hackathon also took place at the Erasmus+ project "ENDORSE" partner universities Austria in Krems, University of Lodz in Poland, Midsweden University in Sweden. 


The top 3 teams in each country are selected to compete in an international final a month later and the best team from each country wins the main prize - a trip to the University of Applied Sciences in Krems, Austria.

 

The jury of Ventspils University of Applied Sciences recognised "InnoStow" from the 1st year of "Business Management", "Cramp In Hands" from the 2nd year of "Startup Management", as well as the team "VenMar" from the 1st year of "Business Management" as the best teams.

 

Thanks to the team mentors from Business Academy, VATP, GreenTechCluster and VUAS for their valuable advice, inspiration and help in developing student ideas.

 

Thanks to our amazing students for their passion, knowledge and courage!

 

The event is organised and funded in the framework of the Erasmus+ project "ENDORSE".

Letter of support

By Elīna Ērkšķe • 03 Mar, 2022
Dear colleagues and friends, Last Thursday marked a dark moment in the history of Europe and the world as we became witness of a brutal and unprovoked act of war by Russia against a sovereign nation in the centre of Europe - Ukraine. We are deeply saddened by this. We at Ventspils University of Applied Sciences stand with the people of Ukraine at this difficult time and join the international community in condemning on the strongest possible terms the act of illegal aggression. We are prepared to offer every possible support within our means to staff, researchers and students at your institution. We are open look into the possibility to host your staff shorter or longer for periods of time. Once again - we stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and our thoughts are with all those directly or indirectly impacted by this invasion. Yours sincerely, Dr. Karlis Kreslins Rector of the Ventspils University of Applied Sciences Foto: Shutterstock
