Collaborate Sprint – Everything you need to know for this year’s innovation challenge

Loughborough University London is offering a select few students studying at our East Midlands campus the opportunity to undertake a Collaborative Sprint.

The Sprint is based on Loughborough University London’s innovative Collaborative Project Module and gives participants the chance to build teams, take on challenges from companies and organisations and pitch their ideas. Our Collaborate Sprint takes place on our campus on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.
