Why Enactus Wageningen?
We are Enactus. Active in Wageningen, but also present on more than 1800 other campuses. With us you can start your own business that also contributes to a fair and sustainable world. Through guest lectures, workshops and a large network through Enactus Netherlands, we offer you ample opportunity for personal and professional development.
We host bi-weekly events, hosted in Forum. Here, members talk about the development of their startups, workshops are held and there is room for getting to know new people. Last year we hosted several cool guest speakers. Besides the formal evenings, our Event Manager also organises informal events. For example, there is team building and a farewell dinner at the end of the year. We also occasionally organise activities that are open to all WUR students.
An Enactus year begins in September or February. You can apply at these two times during the year. As a project member, we expect you to put about 4-6 hours into your undertaking. Most of your participation is already in the members’ evening, the rest you can divide in your own time. Thus, project member is a flexible position. For the events, workshops, guest lectures and membership we ask for a small contribution of €3.50 per month. Nevertheless, the first half a year is for free, and their is no obligation to stay longer if you don’t feel like contributing more money and time.
Enactus Wageningen currently has three ongoing projects:
Bio-ad, Pailbloom and our new Think Tank.
In addition to projects, we also have a committee.
Are you curious about what exactly we do during our evenings? Or do you have other questions about how an Enactus year could work out for you? Then please send us an email to info@enactuswageningen.nl . We are happy to answer all your questions!
