We provide tools they need to create innovative projects, i.e. sharing local economies, we encourage them to stay in the country and picture the future with optimism. 

 

The YEC creates a communication channel between academic institutions, the actual market, and society. In this way, we contribute to forming a dialogue between science and everyday life, foreseeing the entrepreneurial potential of the produced knowledge. We manage national and European wide conferences, seminars, webinars, speeches, open coffee events and counting more in future.
