The UC3M announces the 2018 TFM Emprende Awards
10/23/18
The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) is launching its 2018 Awards for Final Master's Degree Projects (TFM) with an entrepreneurial profile, with the aim of supporting the University’s innovation ecosystem and promoting the creation of companies.
These awards are aimed at UC3M Master’s students who complete their TFM in the 2017/2018 academic year. They recognise proposals which are developed individually or jointly and which consist of business ideas which stand out because of their brilliance and viability.
Through this initiative of the Corporate Council in collaboration with the Entrepreneurs Club, the UC3M is granting 20,000 euro to finance activities and training related to entrepreneurship. Additionally, the winners will be admitted to the UC3M Explorer Space, a support space for entrepreneurship within the framework of Banco Santander’s "Young People with Ideas" Explorer programme.
During the months that the Explorer programme runs, those selected will receive training, support and advice so as to transform their idea into a viable business model. The best projects will be eligible for the Explorer Award, which awards 60,000 euro divided into various cash and non-cash prizes, such as a trip to Silicon Valley.
