Campus Builder

Connect students, faculty and European expertise through applied DeepTech challenges within international research, innovation and development projects.

SCIENCE INTO PRACTICE

Connect campus expertise
with a real challenge.

Campus Builder brings students, faculty and BECOME experts together around an applied DeepTech challenge within an international research, innovation or development project.

Your institution’s academic priorities shape the audience, scope and expected outcomes. Engineering, science and management perspectives can contribute to the same project.

HOW IT WORKS

Four stages.
A tangible output.

Move from understanding the problem to presenting a reasoned response, with expert input and feedback throughout.


  1. Frame the challenge

    An expert-led session introduces the subject, context and questions to investigate.


  2. Work with the evidence

    Examine a case, dataset or application using materials agreed with your institution.


  3. Develop a response

    Teams create an analysis, a concept or a project proposal suited to the challenge.


  4. Share the outcome

    Explain the work, receive feedback and identify a useful next step.

POSSIBLE CHALLENGES

Shape the assignment
around your audience.

These examples guide programme design. The final challenge, materials and expected output are agreed with your institution.

MANAGEMENT

Technology to market

Assess the international market and potential users for a technology.

ENGINEERING

Scope a demonstrator

Define the technical questions, requirements and next validation steps.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY

Data for water

Explore how satellite data could address a water-related problem, considering feasibility and user needs.

DELIVERY & COLLABORATION

Clear roles.
Shared objectives.

The proposal defines the contributions of BECOME experts, institutional faculty and participants, together with supervision, assessment criteria and deliverables.

Capacity building is integrated into the scientific or deployment objectives of the wider project. Local priorities and faculty contributions guide international collaboration.

For institutions in India, this can provide a starting point for Europe–India academic and innovation exchange.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before we begin.

Can Campus Builder fit an existing curriculum?

It can be scoped around a module, an interdisciplinary challenge or a dedicated institutional event. Academic integration, assessment and any statement of completion are agreed with your institution.

Can a participant project continue afterwards?

A promising idea can be considered for further investigation. Any subsequent research collaboration or professional development project requires a separate assessment and agreement.
