Join the Arqus Student Lab 2025

Arqus Student Agora is launching the first Arqus Student Lab, which will take place at Vilnius University on 2-3 July 2025. The application deadline is 11 May.

This dynamic initiative is a unique opportunity for Arqus students to co-create meaningful change in higher education. The Arqus Student Agora is now selecting 18 Arqus students to participate in an intensive, hands-on Lab this July in Vilnius.

The Student Lab will bring together three diverse student teams to collaboratively tackle key challenges affecting academic life. Each group will design a solution and present their project idea to the wider Arqus student community.

Who can apply?

Open exclusively to students from Arqus universities, with priority given to those involved in:

  • Arqus Ambassadors Programme
  • Arqus Mentorship Programme (mentors or mentees)
  • Talent Scholarship Fund
  • Student co-designed projects (winners and extended teams)
  • Other Arqus-related initiatives

Participating students will gain:

  • Tools and methods to design and test innovative solutions
  • Strengthened soft skills: teamwork, communication, problem-solving
  • Experience with agile and digital tools
  • A boost to your employability
  • A chance to pitch your idea in a “Shark Tank”-style session

Challenge/problem areas include:

  • Job market connection
  • Mental health and well-being
  • Sustainability
  • Student empowerment
  • Inclusion
  • Digital transformation

The Arqus Student Lab will follow a structured path that blends creativity, digital tools, and agile methodologies to drive real change in academic communities. This Lab is a collaborative experience where student challenges will be transformed into practical and innovative solutions! 

Ready to shape the future of higher education? Apply by 11 May 2025 and tell us which challenge you’re passionate about.

Application form

Selected participants will be announced shortly after the deadline. Please note: due to the high number of expected applications, only selected candidates will be contacted.

This initiative is financed by the Arqus Innovation Fund under the official title “Transversal Arqus – Arqus Alumni Mentorship Programme”. The Innovation Fund incentivises innovative ad hoc bottom-up initiatives from Arqus academics, administrative staff and students with a joint approach.
