This innovative four-day programme, hosted in the Co-Working Space of the Humanities Venture Lab, offers the opportunity to bring your ideas to life. It goes through all the stages of starting a business and connects you with experts and like-minded people. It offers a unique opportunity to test your solutions, refine your direction, and build a real, market-ready prototype.

The programme is specifically designed for both students and researchers of UvA’s Humanities Faculty and creates a collaborative environment with peers who share your passion for humanities-driven innovation. We welcome students with a developed project or a concrete idea, as well as researchers eager to share their research ideas with aspiring entrepreneurs. The programme is organized in partnership with Caempus and VU.
