The EuroTeQ Engineering University strives to promote collaboration between six strong Universities of Technology and 45 associated partners, fostering the European spirit in innovative engineering education across Europe. The EuroTeQ project has started in November 2021 and coordinated many existing learning offers to students across six campuses. In 2022, a new challenge-based learning format, the EuroTeQ Collider, will be developed and offered at each EuroTeQ location.

The EuroTeQ Collider format is open to students, vocational trainees as well as professional learners. It aims to connect participants with different profiles and personalities to boost creativity, innovation, shared understanding, enabling them to imagine new approaches, design disruptive solutions, and create prototypes to take up the respective challenge.

The Collider is organized around a central theme. This year’s Collider topic is Leave no waste behind. The Call for Ideas was published on the EuroTeQ website  and was open between 10 October and 7 November 2021. EuroTeQ has identified three topical clusters: cities – energy – consumption, which shall be transformed into challenges by the industry partners of the EuroTeQ consortium.

The Collider will be started with a Launch Event on February 10th, which will be a shared online event. After the Launch Event there is time for preparation, and the real Collider, in which everyone works together, will take place at CTU in May, during 6 days (2 weekends + 2 weekdays). The participants form ideally a team of students, professionals and vocationals and have the possibility to learn together and from each other, get insights in the latest technological developments, get entrepreneurial inspiration and act in close cooperation with companies. For successful participation in the Collider, students will get 5 ECTS.
