As beautifully encapsulated in its motto - maximizing human potential, Vishwakarma University, since the year of its inception, has worked endlessly towards creating an enabling environment to ensure the wholesome development of its students. Employing innovative learning methodologies has created an effective amalgamation of didactic and practical learning. This coupled with a responsive and active student community has made the VU campus a productive ground for the germination of new ideas and intellectual activity. Now VU has taken the next natural step in its journey of academic excellence by launching VU-IQube, on the 1st of October, 2020, to unleash the creative potential of its students.
Focusing on Idea, Innovation, IPR, and Entrepreneurship in a synergetic and integrated way VU-IQube seeks to facilitate the culture of innovation in VU and to build an Eco-system that enables self-empowerment.
Under this Initiative VU-IQube has established an SOP for the submission, screening, selection, and processing of the ideas, inventions, and innovations of the Students. Students are invited to submit their Ideas, Innovations, and Inventions. These go through the process of screening by the expert committee constituted for the same. Selected Proposals are taken up for Nurturing which includes, inter alia Incubation, IPR Facilitation, and Entrepreneurship support required to bring the respective projects to fruition.
Under this initiative, the Faculty is provided with drafting, filing, and financial support for IPR registration and processing for their eligible projects.
The Faculty is provided exposure to training and workshops that build their capacities in the areas of IPR, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.
Under this, through sessions, workshops, Elective Courses, etc., the capacities of students to understand and manoeuvre the landscape of IPR, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship are built.
As a part of its efforts towards facilitating Innovation and Entrepreneurship at VU, VU-IQube organized an Entrepreneurship Fest in Three Phases. The Fest had a simple mantra: Explore - Learn - Apply!!
The first phase was successfully conducted between the 18th and 23rd of May, 2021 where students got to explore the world of Entrepreneurship by interacting with Successful Entrepreneurs and Entrepreneurship Trainers.
The second phase of the Entrepreneurship phase focuses on capacity development and is scheduled between 29th November and 3rd December 2021.
Interactions with Entrepreneurs from across the world.
