#ERUAiDeaThon2026 - Call for ERUA Mentors: Application Form

The University of the Aegean, in collaboration with the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, invites experienced professionals, academics, researchers and regional stakeholders to join the ERUA iDeaThon 2026 as mentors. The iDeaThon is part of the ERUA Challenge-to-Impact Initiative: Future Learning and Student Experience.

Mentors guide the finalist teams in refining their ideas, give constructive feedback on feasibility, relevance and potential impact, and help them prepare their final presentations. Where relevant, they also support promising ideas towards the ERUA Hackathon 2027 in Lesvos.

We welcome mentors with experience in one or more of ERUA's five thematic areas – Migration, Exile and Refugees; Democracy and Human Rights, Inclusion and Gender Equality; Environmental Transition; Interculturality and Multilingualism; Arts and Edges – and in complementary fields such as social entrepreneurship, business development, innovation, project management, sustainability, impact assessment, community engagement and regional development. Selected mentors join the public ERUA Mentor Pool (https://ecos.erua-eui.eu/info/erua-mentors/), which remains open for future ERUA activities.
