How ELI works

• It uses a combination of video and audio podcasts, interactive business cases, video lectures, knowledge clips, with some synchronous sessions and more!
• For those willing, there will also be a chance to meet students from other fields of study, and e-collaborate on some tasks.
• It is free and runs between November 2023 and June 2024. You can join anytime! 
• You can earn a 2 ects Edubadge that you can boast on LinkedIn.

ELI co-founders

ELI is a creation of Marco Da Rin and Martí Guasch (aka ‘the M&M studios’). Marco & Martî met in Tilburg in 2019, and shared a common vision for an initiative that would give students an idea of what going for such a career would require, whether it would suit their goals, and how to prepare for getting there. Their ambition is to make students and young adults ‘literate’ about what entrepreneurship means as a career, bringing them to make wise choices for their future.
