NOVA Students Invited to Join the EUTOPIA Innovation Challenge by the University of Warwick
NOVA University Lisbon students have a unique opportunity to take part in the EUTOPIA Innovation Challenge, hosted by the University of Warwick in an online edition open to students from all EUTOPIA partner universities.
What is the EUTOPIA Innovation Challenge?
Running from 7 to 9 July 2026 (10:00–17:00 CET, fully online), the challenge brings together student teams from across the EUTOPIA alliance to tackle real-world problems set by members of the Warwick Innovation District — one of the UK’s most dynamic ecosystems of student start-ups, creative enterprises and social ventures.
Working as a team of five NOVA students, participants will receive hands-on guidance from expert mentors throughout the three days, while also having the opportunity to interact with teams from other EUTOPIA universities at key moments during the programme.
Who should apply?
The challenge is open to all NOVA students, regardless of academic level or field of study. The selection will be based on motivation, availability, and academic background — with a particular encouragement for students who have not yet had the opportunity to participate in international activities.
If you are curious, collaborative, and ready to think outside the box — this is for you.

- Develop your innovation and entrepreneurship skills in a hands-on format
- Expand your global network across EUTOPIA universities
