ABOUT THE PROJECT

Local EURAXESS Startup Hub

The University of Kragujevac, with the support of the Innovation Community of Šumadija and Western Serbia, which includes mentors, renowned companies, potential investors, and external stakeholders in the startup ecosystem, invites researchers (in research and teaching positions) to become part of the Local Startup Hub. This allows their research to gain visibility on both the national and international levels, contributing to their career development and enabling participation in the mobility schemes of the EURAXESS Startup Hub.

Additionally, researchers at the University of Kragujevac are encouraged to apply for mentorship training, through which they can develop their scientific ideas in line with the promotion of scientific entrepreneurship, gaining the opportunity to compete for the most innovative ideas and valuable cash prizes.

The Local EURAXESS Startup Hub was developed to advance scientific ideas (scientific entrepreneurship) and further commercialize them by connecting science and industry.

The purpose of the Local EURAXESS Startup Hub is exclusively to network with:

  • the University of Kragujevac,
  • members of the Innovation Community of Šumadija and Western Serbia,
  • the Innovation Incubator of the University of Kragujevac,
  • researchers from the University of Kragujevac,
  • other domestic and international researchers,
  • various domestic and international companies,
  • appearances on the EURAXESS Startup Hub and Local Startup Hub platforms,
  • international visibility,
  • opportunities for finding high-quality and necessary professional staff, various projects, potential investors, and funding, as well as connecting science with industry.

Ambassador of the Local EURAXESS Startup Hub Program

The Ambassador Program will be implemented through the identification of ambassadors within the Local EURAXESS Startup Hub, who will assist in creating online content for PhD holders and postdoctoral researchers interested in launching their ventures. These ambassadors will be willing to serve as points of contact and respond to questions on an individual basis.

The program will provide opportunities for researchers and companies (both domestic and international) to network through the Local EURAXESS Startup Hub, with the goal of writing doctoral dissertations or conducting research funded by specific companies, aimed at establishing startups upon completion of the research.
