ENTREPRENEURSHIP
UNIVERSITY OF LUXEMBOURG INCUBATOR
AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAMME
Your place to...
... acquire essential skills to highlight your profile
The university curriculum you have chosen will provide you with the qualification to work in specific
occupational areas. However, as competition is strong on today’s job market, adding qualifications to your
profile will bring you competitive advantages.

This is one of the reasons why the University of Luxembourg created its Entrepreneurship Programme. This
Programme gives students across all faculties, regardless of their level of studies (Bachelor and Master
students, doctoral candidates, post-docs), the possibility to participate in initiatives that train skills essential
to be successful in their future working life while discovering entrepreneurship as a career path. Taking part in
courses like Ideation Camp or My Big Idea competition can get you ready to build a business from ground up.

… discover entrepreneurship as a career path

If you decide to create your own company, the University of Luxembourg Incubator can offer you a broad
range of services to help you in developing your startup. Luxembourg is a great environment to succeed
with your own venture as the country offers a dense support infrastructure for entrepreneurs in the heart of
Europe.

To allow you getting a good impression of what it takes to run your own business, the team invites
entrepreneurs from Luxembourg and abroad to share their story and to provide advice to those who want to
follow the same path. You will have the opportunity to learn from the best while building a valuable business
network at the same time.
29 ENTREPRENEURSHIP

… get support with turning your entrepreneurial vision into reality

To be incubated at the University of Luxembourg means having your own offices on Belval and benefitting
from a rich infrastructure. You will get access to a community of experts that help you take the necessary steps
from registering your company in Luxembourg to engaging with customers and finding funds. Moreover, you
are eligible for the Incubator’s accelerator as well as its mentoring service that offers tailor-made support to
ambitious startups by high-profile experts from the Luxembourgish startup ecosystem and beyond.

Get in touch with the Incubator and Entrepreneurship Programme team and ask for a meeting to discuss your
startup project or to be included into the distribution list not to miss any opportunities.

SUSTAINABILITY
LIVING SUSTAINABILITY ON CAMPUS
The University’s sustainability team aims at further integrating sustainable development in the institution’s
activities and operations.

The University has identified six priority areas for the development of its operational sustainability (operations,
functioning and campuses), constituting a compass for the development of activities and projects.

Raise awareness on sustainability!

We want to raise awareness of sustainable development issues within the University community.

We offer a range of tools to get more information:

›› The Sustainability LunchTalk series are short, interactive meetings. They help you understand and prepare
for future transformations. We organise them for you, so don’t hesitate to take part and ask the speakers
questions during the Q&A sessions. Check your mailbox for the invitations.
›› The Sustainability Letter gives an overview of the University's sustainable development projects and
actions through articles and interviews.
›› Various learning tools are available. Events are co-organised with SEVE. If you would like to take part in
a Climate Fresk or “2 tonnes” workshop, get together with other students and let us know.
31 SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability projects on Campus

We don’t just raise awareness; we also take actions. We want to build bridges and launch joint projects with
researchers and students to integrate sustainability on campus.

Over the course of the year, we may offer a number of student jobs. We launch projects in accordance with
our plans, but if you have a sustainability project or want some advice, you can call us or drop us a line to get
on with the next steps. Waste management, sharing or repairing stuff, experimenting with permaculture …

Whether you work with us to develop your idea, or we take it on ourselves, we are always keen to hear your
ideas.

In addition, we’re part of various professional networks and associations linked to sustainability. If you’d like
to get in touch with local or national players, we’d be delighted to help.

The campus is yours, and we want to help you become part of its transformation. So don’t be shy.

STUDENT MOBILITY
The University of Luxembourg subscribes to the principle of international student mobility, therefore Bachelor
students at the University of Luxembourg spend a mandatory mobility semester abroad. The Service in
charge of student mobility is the Bureau des Relations Internationales (BRI).

More information: www.uni.lu/international

TYPES OF MOBILITY
Erasmus+
Erasmus + is funded by the European Union and enables students enrolled at the University of Luxembourg to
spend a semester abroad at one of the University of Luxembourg’s partner universities within Europe.

The number of Erasmus+ places is limited for each academic year, each study programme and each partner
university: unilux.moveon4.de

Global Exchange Programme

The Global Exchange Programme is the University of Luxembourg’s excellence programme that allows
students to study for one semester outside of Europe.

The University of Luxembourg has signed student exchange agreements with universities from all over the
world:

 unilux.moveon4.de

Free Mover
This type of mobility is offered to students who did not obtain a place with the Erasmus+ or Global Exchange
Programme. This status enables you to spend a mobility semester at a non-partner university of your study
programme. All necessary steps required to submit your application and organise your mobility semester will
have to be done by yourself. This requires great autonomy and much motivation.

INFORMATION SESSIONS
You can meet the staff in charge of mobility during the Welcome Week (21st September at Maison du Savoir,
10am-4pm). We invite you to ask us all questions you may have on your future mobility project !

Compulsory information sessions for Bachelor students. We recommend to Master students who would like
to do a mobility semester to follow these sessions as well.

 Find out more: wwwen.uni.lu/international/mobilite

SELECTION PROCESS
Erasmus+
Bachelor
A call for application is sent out each year in March to apply for the summer or winter semester of the
following academic year. You will receive the link to an online application form where you can select up to
three partner universities of your choice.

Your course director will select applicants according to academic criteria (number of credits obtained and
average grade).

After your course director has validated your mobility project, contact [email protected] before the end of
March to submit your Erasmus+ stay wishes.

formal request is needed. Mobility semesters within the proximity including Nancy, Metz, Longwy, Trier,
