E³UDRES² Bootcamp 2025

This year's E³UDRES² Bootcamp took place from 7 to 11 July 2025 under the motto "Creative Roots: Designing Experiences Inspired by Nature" at the St. Pölten Sports Centre in Lower Austria. Over 40 students from more than ten nations and eight Educational Entrepreneurs (EE) came together to develop creative solutions for real-life challenges - all in the spirit of sustainability, closeness to nature and interdisciplinary collaboration.

In cooperation with the "Nature in the Garden" initiative, the participants focussed on the question of how regional topics can be brought to life through innovative technologies in art and culture. The aim was to create interactive formats that raise awareness of nature and support sustainable coexistence between people and the environment.

Fulda University of Applied Sciences was actively involved in the boot camp together with the business department - both through the attendance of students and an educational entrepreneur. This emphasises the university's clear commitment to the E³UDRES² alliance and to the topic of entrepreneurship, which not only plays a central role internationally, but also in its own strategy.

The boot camp offered a unique mix of teamwork, international exchange and challenges related to practice - embedded in the inspiring backdrop of the Lower Austrian landscape. Creative concepts were developed in intensive work phases, accompanied by experts and coaches from the E³UDRES² network.

In addition to the focus on content, the week also centred on cultural experiences, mutual learning and new perspectives. The boot camp was not only a platform for innovative ideas, but also a living example of successful European collaboration in the university context.

We would like to thank everyone involved - especially "Natur im Garten" as the challenge owner - for an inspiring week full of creativity, closeness to nature and international community.
