SFF Learn – Information for QMU students
Do you have a business, enterprise or innovation idea – even if it is at an early stage?
Would you like to: -
- Develop your idea as part of a leading European programme for entrepreneurship and innovation?
- Gain intercultural and entrepreneurial skills and certification and letter of recommendation?
- Grow your professional network?
- Work in an international setting with similar project teams across Europe and beyond?
- Have a chance to win financial and other prizes?
- Have advice and financial support to continue with your project after the initial courses in one of the European incubator spaces?

If so, then consider taking part in an exciting short course with students and experts from across Europe: SFF LEARN
LEARN starts in October 2023 with an application deadline of 18th October - please note that the application form states that you have to be a team of two or more but they have agreed to allow individuals to sign up so ignore that bit!
You can apply to take part until 18th October using the following link:
