39 projects embark on phase 1 of the UCreate program. The cohort has chosen its name: Collective Impact!

The 75 participants attended their first workshops at Villanova. They started to work on their idea and experienced pitching in front of an audience.

75 participants from 5 UNIL faculties were represented: students, alumni, professors, staff and researchers.

11 areas of activity: agrifood - art, history & culture - cosmetics & hygiene - education - equality, diversity & inclusion - energy, water & environment - waste management & packaging - materials & construction - retail & e-commerce - health & life sciences - sport & leisure.

All aboard for 6 workshops that will enable participants to explore their idea and perform an initial validation of its market desirability.

Erica Mazerolle and Emilie Romon Carnegie from UNIL's HUB will be accompanying this spring 2024 cohort.

Thanks to Johann Recordon of UNIL's Sustainability Competence Center, who led the workshop on impact. Anne Headon & Anne Liquois also led workshops on stakeholders & interviews.
