Boundless learning: Innovation Challenge with Avans University

June 4, 2025

Since 2017, an Erasmus+ funded cooperation has linked Avans University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands) with the Management & Entrepreneurship department at FHWien der WKW, enabling “short-term student mobility”.

From May 19 to 23, 2025, 32 students and two lecturers—Bart Jaartsveld and David van Dinther—visited FHWien der WKW to work with academic experts and lecturers Christine Güttel and Andreas Tschiltsch on a practical “Innovation Challenge” for the start-up marketing agency Tissu4You.

The exchange not only offered students from Austria and the Netherlands the opportunity to develop innovative solutions for a real company, but also promoted intercultural dialogue and cooperation. In addition to intensive project work, the program included a visit to the United Nations, a guided tour of Vienna, and a traditional visit to a wine tavern in Nussdorf.
