Application Information

Bachelor, Master, and Ph.D. students from all faculties are welcome! You can apply as an individual or as a team. It does not matter whether you apply with a first draft of your idea or a sophisticated business idea.

To apply, simply send the following documents to Maria.Diekmann@uni-passau.de:

1. A short CV (maximum 1 page) for each team member.
2. A current transcript of records (e.g., CampusPortal statement).
3. Your answers to these following two questions:
   • Which problem (societal, environmental, end or business customer) would you like to solve with your (business) idea? (max. 200 words)
   • What is your solution to this problem, i.e., your concrete business idea? (max. 200 words)

No problem! You’re welcome to apply too. Just send the same documents to Maria.Diekmann@uni-passau.de and answer the following two questions (max. 200 words) to help us match you with teams and their ideas at the Focus Days 2025:

• Why are you passionate about start-ups?
• What prepares you best for this endeavor (e.g., skills, interest, study background)?

Once the application period is over, we’ll carefully review all submissions and invite selected individuals and teams to join our idea evaluation workshop, the Focus Days (see info box).

If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to Maria.Diekmann@uni-passau.de. We’re happy to help!
