  • 4. Enterprisers: Free week-long business retreat

    Are you a student/recent graduate interested in starting a business or in an early stage startup? Enterprisers, delivered by the University of Cambridge, could give you an unfair advantage!

    I'd encourage all students in E-Club to check out this programme (I've been twice before and will be there again!). Thanks to Informatics Ventures, all of your costs are covered - that includes the course, travel, accommodation in Stirling, and even meals! Amazing.

    The Enterprisers programme is aimed at ambitious and energetic individuals. The programme is fun, action-orientated, practical and based on experiential learning, i.e learning by doing. It is about inspiring people to develop entrepreneurial skills and a ‘can do’ attitude with the confidence to make things happen.
