Launch of the “Disrupt’ Campus” call for projects
The “Disrupt’ Campuses” have two objectives: firstly, to experiment with new higher education curricula to better prepare students for entrepreneurship, innovation and the digital economy, and secondly, to promote the digital transformation of French businesses. Teaching methods based on innovation processes will be encouraged (rapid iterations, learning, agility, concern for the user experience, etc.), as will the transition to new business models (international ambitions from the outset, platform logics, etc.).
A “Disrupt’ Campus” is a training program in entrepreneurship and digital innovation, developed by one or more higher education establishments, with the close involvement of companies committed to digital transformation.
Project submission deadline: Friday, February 3, 2017.

The Disrupt’ Campus initiative encouraged projects connecting education, entrepreneurship and digital innovation. Calls of this kind can provide a structured environment for turning an early idea into a tested concept and for learning across disciplinary boundaries.
Participants benefit from defining a real user need, forming a complementary team and validating assumptions before developing an elaborate solution. The announcement’s application period belongs to its edition; future candidates should consult the programme’s current organisers.
Digital career guidance is strongest when it replaces stereotypes with concrete examples. Different occupations require different levels of technical specialisation, yet curiosity, communication and structured problem-solving appear across many roles. Schools, companies and training providers can cooperate to make this diversity visible. Educational resources must also be accessible and regularly maintained so that young people are not directed towards outdated qualifications or misleading promises about recruitment. A historical programme can still inspire new forms of cooperation.
