BME Participated in the IVAP 2025 Innovation-Oriented Meeting in Kraków
Kraków hosted the international workshop of the EIT Higher Education Initiative (IVAP 2025), welcoming nearly 400 educators, researchers, industry experts, and policymakers from across Europe. The event aimed to strengthen the innovation and entrepreneurial capabilities of higher education institutions while addressing significant societal challenges such as climate change, food security, and the responsible and transparent use of artificial intelligence. The program also emphasized how universities can better support innovation-driven skills development and help grow entrepreneurial ecosystems.
