Fenerbahçe University is proud to take part as a partner institution in the NEXT-HEI project, conducted under the Horizon Europe programme.

Within the scope of this initiative, Fenerbahçe University, in collaboration with the University of Mons (Belgium) and the University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy), will launch a new course titled “Venture Building.”

The course is designed to bring together both academic and non-academic participants to build a foundation for entrepreneurship. Classes will be conducted in English and delivered online.

Participants who successfully complete the course will receive a certificate of completion. The course capacity is limited to 100 participants, and registration can be completed via the link provided in the attached file. The course syllabus is also available in the attachment.

We invite all participants with a good command of English who wish to develop entrepreneurial ideas and turn them into real projects to join this inspiring and dynamic programme.

Nurturing Excellence and Transformation in Higher Education Innovation

NEXT-HEI Project

NEXT-HEI empowers Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to become key drivers of innovation, entrepreneurship, and regional growth across Europe. Through tailored capacity-building, startup support, and cross-regional collaboration, the project enhances HEIs’ commercialization and entrepreneurial capacities. It will support over 35 HEIs, 50 startups, and train 875+ students in venture building. By promoting inclusivity, deep-tech commercialization, and alignment with the EIT Strategic Innovation Agenda, NEXT-HEI strengthens Europe’s digital and green transitions and embeds sustainable innovation practices within HEIs—positioning them as central actors in Europe’s innovation ecosystem.
