Taining Programmes

 

The "Emprén" programme is the result of the collaboration of the Faculty of Economics with Lanzadera, the accelerator and incubator of companies.

It is aimed at the students that are completing their degree or that are studying a master's degree. The objective is to offer complementary training to what they have already learned in their degree so that they can be applied in their TFG/TFM (Undergraduate Degree Final Project /Master's Degree Final Project) which will necessarily be on creating companies.

The students selected to participate in the EMPRÉN Programme will attend 5 sessions of 3 hours of duration given by Lanzadera, which complement the subjects of Entrepreneurship offered by the Universitat de València, and their business projects will be considered to enter Lanzadera’s pre-incubation programmes.

A maximum of 20 students per edition will be selected.  In addition, the group could be completed with people attending UVEmprén Club with a project or entrepreneurial concern.
