Involving students in the SPoC program contributes to the development of the University’s third mission activity creating a new type of opportunity to strengthen the relationship between university and industry and expand knowledge transfer to new areas.

The aims of the program:

  • to create an opportunity for students who are interested in the practical application of knowledge acquired through traditional education to develop prototypes and validate their ideas on the market

  • to promote the commercialization of innovative student ideas.

The supported projects aim for the testing of student ideas, the production of prototypes, technological development, analyzing market potential and other activities facilitating commercialization.
