What does EELISA mean to David?

Why do you enjoy working for EELISA?

There is something very inspiring about being part of a great European team composed of members from Madrid, Paris, Pisa, Erlangen, Nuremberg, Budapest, Bucharest, and Istanbul striving to make Europe and the world a better place for students, researchers, innovators, and citizens. On top, it is a pleasure to work with my fantastic colleagues at FAU.

Before working for EELISA, …

…I was a research associate at FAU’s Institute of Political Science, where I completed my dissertation on Alexandre Kojève’s political philosophy that was published by Campus Verlag in Frankfurt a. M. and New York. Interestingly, Kojève was not only a very influential Hegelian philosopher in France, but also a notorious bureaucrat of early European integration.

What was your highlight project for EELISA?

So far, my highlight projects have been the EELISA Prototype Contests, the EELISA Entrepreneurship Schools, and EELISA Next Level: Your Seed and Series A Funding Booster Event. It has been great to support so many wonderful people on their innovation journeys and to create a truely European innovation ecosystem. I think all of these events are excellent examples of the new opportunities that EELISA offers to its innovation oriented students and researchers.
