NOVA University Lisbon is once again calling on creative and entrepreneurial minds with the latest edition of the NOVA impACT! Challenges, a competition designed to boost innovative projects with social and environmental impact. The initiative will run from 23 June to 14 July 2025, and applications are open until 11:59 PM on 4 June.
Organised by the NOVA Impact Office, the programme supports teams developing solutions aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Over the course of three intensive weeks, participants will benefit from expert-led workshops, dedicated mentoring, and an initial €500 seed fund to support prototype development.
The programme culminates in a live pitch event at the NOVA Rectorate, where a panel of academic and industry leaders will evaluate the projects. The winning team will receive an additional prize to help accelerate their solution’s implementation.
Applications can be submitted via the NOVA Innovation website
