IDEA is a team of young leaders and proactive students who implement projects across various fields — startups, business, science, media, events, and more.
Here, everyone can find something they are passionate about, unlock their potential, and gain invaluable experience.
The team traces its origins to Enactus EKTU, a project that achieved numerous victories at university, city, and national levels. For many years, members of IDEA have continued this tradition by creating impactful initiatives that benefit the university, city, and society as a whole.
The main goal of the team is to develop leadership, entrepreneurial, and managerial skills among students, as well as to create a supportive environment for generating and implementing innovative ideas.
