"The future of your organisation through the eyes of young international top talent"
Collaborate and Innovate
What are Future Fridays
Future Fridays is an initiative of SRH Haarlem University of Applied Sciences and Cupola XS, in which international third-year HBO students work on a current issue of an organization for five weeks.
Each edition of Future Fridays focuses on a specific theme, such as The Future of Work, The Future of Business Communication, The Future Workplace or Future Scenarios. Based on your specific challenge or desired future step, students delve into the case and develop concrete solutions.
For organizations, this means a free look into the future, practical tools and the opportunity to meet top international talent. For students, it is a valuable learning experience, in which they work on real, current issues from practice.
Kick-offs and final presentations are usually joint from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, followed by a networking drink in the Koepel.
What do we ask of organizations?
Attendance at two moments:
Kick-off to explain the challenge and get to know the student teams;
And at the final presentations in which the student teams present their future scenarios.
Availability for students during the trajectory is optional, but we recommend an interim discussion and possibly a site visit. This way, the students can really develop something valuable for you.
