🎉 We are very happy to share that the Social Entrepreneurship Program, in partnership with Santander Deutschland and RWTH Aachen University, will continue thanks to its recent extension. What is the Social Entrepreneurship Program? Since its launch in 2020, the #SEP has been supporting committed student projects at RWTH Aachen University that develop innovative solutions to social and environmental challenges. Each year, up to eight projects that demonstrate creativity and a commitment to making a positive impact are supported with a sum of 75.000€ in funding. Why is this important? In a world facing increasingly complex challenges, it's essential that young talents have the opportunity to put their ideas into practice. The SEP provides the space and resources to turn visions into reality and create real social benefit. 🌍 The extension of the program underlines the importance we place on supporting young innovators. We are excited by the response to date and the impressive outcomes of the projects and look forward to continuing this successful journey. We look forward to actively supporting the implementation of the Social Entrepreneurship Program in the coming years! 💛 Foto: Heike Lachmann #santanderuniversitäten #collectiveincubator #socialentrepreneurship #aachen #rwthaachen
