Community & Events
Join the Hebrew University’s innovation community and events
Hebrew University students - no matter what your major is - engineering, history, life sciences, international relations, medicine or education - you can embark on your professional journey with the innovation tools and skills you need to excel.
For us, innovation is a way of life - the ability to identify challenges and invent creative solutions. We believe that everyone is an entrepreneur at heart, with the ability to generate ideas which will positively impact the world we live in.
ASPER HUJI Innovate was started to be the place where these innate abilities can come to fruition. As community members, you’ll receive updates and information regarding unique opportunities in the world of innovation, create new friendships with other entrepreneurial students and enjoy events with pioneering founders and investors.
Our community strives to provide entrepreneurial tools and skills by promoting an innovative culture, holding innovation workshops, developing innovation events and running competitions and programs that enable participants to experience innovation processes first-hand. Put together, these activities create a conjunction point between the worlds of academy and innovation for our community members.
