URJC Summer School 2026: Active Learning for European Universities

06/05/2026 Deadline: 15th June 2026

We are delighted to announce the upcoming Summer School 2026 organized by Rey Juan Carlos University. The course Active Learning for European Universities, coordinated by César Cáceres, Pablo Salvadores and Juan Manuel García, is based on the work developed within the framework of the European EULiST Alliance.

This two-day course will offer a practical and intensive overview, in English, of the main innovative teaching methodologies, and will count with the participation of experts from all EULiST partner universities, along with faculty from URJC and other Spanish universities with proven experience in teaching innovation. This ensures a strong international, interdisciplinary, and collaborative dimension, as each session will be co-led by an international faculty member from a university within the EULiST Alliance.

This approach creates a space for sharing experiences and challenges among the faculty members participating from the 10 European universities that comprise the EULiST Alliance.

With a keynote lecture, 6 sessions, a practical workshop and a roundtable discussion, the two-days agenda will focus on Challenge Based Learning and Research Based Learning, among other methodologies.

This course is aimed to people interested in innovative teaching methods and active learning and participation in the programme includes support for mobility-related expenses, with funding covering travel costs for 10 people from partner universities, such as flights, accommodation and daily allowances, helping facilitate participation and making these European opportunities more accessible. This selection will be carried out by each of the Alliance’s member universities, which will submit their candidates to the URJC.

What is URJC Summer School?

Course details: Intensive on-site course focused in innovative teaching methods and active learning.

Topics: education and teaching methodologies

Dates: 2nd and 3rd July 2026

From Research to Market in 5 Steps

04/05/2026 Date: 7 May 2026

Speaker: Alex Ion

Date and time: May 7, 2026, 13:00 – 17:00 CEST

Location: TU Wien Innovation Incubation Center, Taubstummengasse 11/4th floor, 1040 Vienna, Austria

Language: English

Open for TU Wien scientific personnel and PhD students and members of EULiST partner universities (sign up using your TU Wien/EULiST partner university email address)

Why you should join:

Join this Masterclass and learn a structured approach to bring your research into market.

You have done the research, and you think it could matter outside the lab. But how do you actually get it there? This hands-on 4-hour workshop gives participants a practical 5-step approach to bringing research into the real world. It is built specifically for a deep-tech and research context, where long timelines, regulated buyers, complex procurement, and early-stage uncertainty often shape the path from prototype to business.

Each of the five steps combines a short input with a hands-on exercise. Participants can apply the exercises to their own project or to a prepared case study. By the end of the workshop, participants will:

Understand what go-to-market means for research and deep-tech, and how it differs from consumer startups
Know how to map their market and competitors without drowning in data
Be able to identify their most promising first customers
Have a draft value proposition for their own project or a case study
Know how to plan a realistic launch and avoid common pitfalls
Have a shortlist of traction channels to test next, mapped to the customer journey
Know which early-stage metrics are worth their attention
Understand why product-market fit alone is not enough, and what else is needed

No business background is required. The workshop is designed for a mixed audience across faculties, with examples drawn from engineering, software, and similar tech contexts. Participants are welcome whether they already have a specific project in mind or are just exploring whether this path is right for them.
