HUB Entrepreneurship and Innovation
The HUB supports entrepreneurial spirit and innovation at UNIL. It serves the needs of the entire community, including students, alumni, researchers, professors from the 7 faculties of UNIL, as well as administrative and technical staff.
HUB mission
The HUB Entrepreneurship and Innovation was launched at the end of 2019 to foster an entrepreneurial spirit and support impact-driven entrepreneurship and innovation projects from the UNIL community. The HUB supports a vision of entrepreneurship at the service of the social, ecological and economic transition.
HUB governance
Since its creation, the HUB has operated with two governing bodies:
- Its Advisory Board, which is made up of one representative from each Faculty (or Institute), the management of the UNIL Competence Centre in Sustainability, the management of the Biopôle and the management of the PACTT. Members are appointed for a maximum of three years.
- Its Student Advisory Board, which is made up of the presidents and vice-presidents of the student associations interested in supporting the HUB's activities.
Villanova
The Villanova is a creative, collaborative, interdisciplinary space. It is a focal point for the HUB's activities, including the UCreate and Impulse programmes. It offers project leaders an inspiring workspace in which to explore, try out and test their innovative solutions, strengthen collaborative relationships and stimulate the exchange of ideas.
