NOVA impACT! Challenges 2026: Got an idea that can change the world?
We are looking for brilliant minds who may already have imagined a project capable of improving the world—at least around them—today and in the future.
If this is the opportunity you have been waiting for, know that over three intense and inspiring weeks, selected teams will take part in three expert-led workshops, gain access to a dedicated mentor, and receive €500 in seed funding to support prototype development.
The program concludes with a live pitch at NOVA’s Rectorate, where a panel of academic and industry experts will evaluate the projects.
The winning team will receive an additional prize to help accelerate their project.
Applications are open until the very last minute of June 15.
