YEEP 2023: Parul University and Swiss Students Collaborate on Innovative Solutions

YEEP 2023

In a rapidly evolving world, innovation has become more critical than ever, and Parul University collaborates with universities worldwide to celebrate this essence of innovation.

This year's YEEP program welcomed eight students from Switzerland to participate in a course on entrepreneurship and innovation culture in India. The students were divided into four groups, each tasked with designing solutions for specific problems related to law, travel guides, healthcare, and smart home automation technologies.

The program is a joint collaboration with Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland, aimed at providing comprehensive training in entrepreneurship and innovation. YEEP showcases the immense potential of young minds to create sustainable solutions for the future. This marks the fourth edition of YEEP, an ongoing partnership with Bern University since 2017, which includes other exchange programs, summer schools, and faculty visits, fostering strong relations between the two universities.

Throughout the program, the students were challenged with critical thinking problem statements, encouraging them to apply their knowledge and come up with innovative solutions. Notably, the students developed a wearable device for epilepsy patients that can detect seizures and alert emergency contacts. They also created LawsPlat, a platform to bridge the gap between law students and legal professionals, offering practical guidance and networking opportunities.

Additionally, the students designed Travel Guide, a platform connecting travelers with local guides to enhance their travel experience. Another breakthrough was Smart Home automation, providing convenience and remote control of appliances and devices.

The YEEP experience went beyond academics as the students were exposed to Indian culture through various cultural events, including festivals like Holi-Dhuleti and Diwali. They engaged in Indian classical dance and experienced cultural practices like mehndi application. This cultural exchange enriched their perspective and understanding of diversity.

YEEP continues to be a platform that nurtures diversity and innovation among students from diverse backgrounds, shaping tomorrow's inventors, creators, and entrepreneurs. Through this program, Parul University continues to foster a vibrant and inclusive campus atmosphere, promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing among students from different continents.
