About inGenious
inGenious projects focus on real-life challenges brought forward by companies, public bodies or civil organisations.
Real-life challenges are not only worth solving because of economic or societal leverage, they also provide a stimulating environment for in depth disciplinary learning, experimenting with problem-solving skills and innovative competences to develop practical solutions.
Nowadays challenges from industry and/or the public sector require increasingly complex contributions from people with very different backgrounds. That's why inGenious works with multi-disciplinary teams.
A typical inGenious project requires some 3 to 6 months intensive collaborative work for a team of 3 to 5 students. And you could be one of them!
- If you're a student of one of the participating universities your journey begins with choosing a project that intrigues you and you get paired up with others that also thrive for the project. You learn to work in a project of limitations, where your own imagination decides how far you reach!
- If you're an interested partner with an interest to develop a challenge and get to work on that challenge with a special team of students, you best start by contacting one of the facilitators of the nearest participating ECIU University.

Featured inGenious Challenges
Many of these challenges are directly related to declining social, economic, and environmental well-being in combination with socio-demographic developments like a greying society and wishes of youngsters to move to larger cities.
After treatment, people will stay some more days in hospital to recover and are then expected to return home for further rehabilitation. This process brings extra burden to scarce healthcare professionals and ever increasing costs for society.
Innovative solutions are needed to handle this.

inGenious is about an innovative approach to 'develop' and 'learn'
Where traditional approaches are based on first learn and then apply, inGenious starts from the challenge and helps you to understand the needs, to analyse what knowledge the team is missing to come to a solution and supports the team to acquire the nescessary know-how and competences to come to their solution and a pathway to implement.
