The IEU LABs are fully tutored working spaces in which IE University students can develop professional projects by working closely with companies or starting their own business while remaining at the university. The projects are an excellent opportunity for students who want hands-on experience, interdisciplinary knowledge, and the opportunity to work on challenging projects to gain professional skills and start building their professional profile.
What types of LABs are offered?
There are three kinds of LABs: Start-Up Lab, IEU LABs with Corporate Partners, IEU LABs with Institutional Partners, and Independent Labs.
Serves as an incubator for students´ business initiatives and guides them through the process of creating and starting a business. Students are given training in areas like marketing, funding, strategy and legal aspects, and are introduced to investors or to other entrepreneurs that share their experience.
Students work as consultants for companies, firms and institutions. These clients collaborate with IE University and call on students to carry out specific research projects and strategic analysis and deliver their findings, guided by the Lab Directors and experts. Clients belong to a variety of sectors, such as sports, finance, marketing, media, information technology, etc. IE departments or other IEU LABs can also become clients. Research and consulting are carried out in areas such as urban development, city marketing, legal issues, museum management, education, creativity, social behavior and many others. Every year more clients collaborate with the IEU LABs and new projects are added to the portfolio.
The Social Lab, Arts & Culture Lab, and Sustainability Lab provide external consultancy services to public institutions, NGOs, and private companies. Their work focuses on helping these organizations achieve their goals and objectives with professional expertise by developing projects that create a social impact. These Labs leverage the multicultural backgrounds of their participants and the synergies offered by their diverse educational experiences.
Four ways:
Yes, you will have a director, who will guide you and the rest of your group all along the way and who will monitor your work, give you feedback, help you whenever you have to meet with clients, and who will set up specific goals and deadlines.
The IEU LABs are offered both at our Madrid and Segovia campuses.
Except for the the Legal Clinic (which is only aimed at students from Law related degrees) and the Communication Lab Segovia (which is only aimed at students from Communication related degrees), anyone can join any of the Labs offered regardless of the degree they are taking. In fact, it should be encouraged so that they explore other areas of interest.
The program is geared toward first and second-year students, however, senior students can also participate.
Access the online enrolment platform:
If you are unable to add/ drop a Lab through the enrolment platform, please contact: matricula@university.ie.edu
You may register for only ONE Lab per academic year. To work in two LABs would be very demanding and would put at risk your academic performance.
You will have the possibility to drop Labs from the 7th of January to the 7th of February 2025.
After February 7th, you will not be able to drop the Lab. If your attendance in the Lab is not satisfactory, you will receive a Fail that will show on your transcript.
Yes, there is limited availability in each Lab. In general, students will be registered on a first come, first served basis. That is why we encourage students to enroll as soon as possible.
Depending on the number of students enrolled, some Directors may decide to carry out a selection process. In this case, you will be informed about the criteria on the first session.
Yes, the online enrolment platform will open again from the 7th to the 27th of January 2025.
There are two portions of the IEU LABs program: the Extensive Period and the Intensive Period.
During the 2024-25 Academic year, the LABs Extensive Period begins the week of January 13th until the 6th of May with a minimum number of 12 weeks of work. Students are expected to work 4-6 hours per week (Spring Break is the week of April 14th; there will be no LABs activity).
The LABs Intensive Period will run from the 2nd to the 27th of June with a total of 4 weeks. Students should work 4 hours a day from 10:00 to 14:00. Students´ attendance will be monitored.
The closing event for the IEU LABs is June 27th. All students are expected to attend either in person or online.
During the extensive period, the LABs will be live in person.
During the intensive period, the LABs will be online except for the following ones, which are in person: Communication, Entertainment, Startup, and Tech.
In principle this will not be possible if the rest of your team does not change location. This can be explored during the first meetings of the Lab when the projects are assigned but it cannot be guaranteed in advance.
No. You need to work both during the extensive AND intensive period.
Yes, you will obtain a grade of 0 to 10 for your participation in the IEU LABs. Your grade will be determined by your performance and the reports you have to prepare for the client or your progress in the business idea.
No, but it will appear in your European Supplement to the diploma as an extra academic activity.
Yes, if your participation in the LABs is satisfactory, you will be granted 3 credits (ECTs). Later on, you may opt for validating those credits for some elective course whenever that may be possible in your program.
Students do not pay anything extra for joining and working at the IEU LABs. Only later on, if you decide to ask for credit recognition to make up for an elective, you will have to pay for those credits (as you would do if you decided to enroll in an elective course).
You will receive a Fail that will show on your transcript. Working in a Lab is voluntary. When you decide to join, you acquire a commitment towards the clients, the university, your Lab Director and the rest of the team. The team will have to deliver in any case at the end of June. If you leave, your teammates will have to do the extra work and the credibility of the university and of the IEU LABs project will be questioned.
Yes, you can sign up again.
