EURAXESS Startup Hub

The EU-funded EURAXESS Hubs project improves the services of the pan-European EURAXESS network by mobilising a critical mass of both experienced and less experienced EURAXESS organisations.

Three pilot EURAXESS hubs have been launched: one cross-border pilot hub manages talent in academia and the public sector, another promotes and assists scientific start-up entrepreneurship, while the third hub focuses on researcher careers beyond academia.

Scientific start-up entrepreneurship

EURAXESS Luxembourg is involved in the cross-national Hub to promote and assist scientific start-up entrepreneurship (Hub 3), together with six other countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, Estonia, Israel, Montenegro and Serbia.
