Endeavour is an annual series of events that culminates in a public exhibition of Engineering and IT student projects in October.
These events attract a wide range of visitors including industry guests, community, students and staff of the University and future students.
Endeavour offers industry a range of opportunities to engage with the Melbourne School of Engineering and its students.
Why sponsor us
Launched in 2010, the Endeavour program has grown exponentially with the Endeavour Engineering and IT Exhibition being one of the largest annual events held at the University of Melbourne. The exhibition attracts visitors from industry, high schools, the university community, as well as the media and general public.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we are back to launch Endeavour and are expecting to see if grow bigger than ever.
In 2016 our engineering and IT students showcased 150 innovative research and design projects and this year, we look forward to expanding the exposure and awareness of Endeavour amongst the wider community, continuing to attract media exposure and build stronger industry connections.
Endeavour can provide you with the opportunity to:
- Gain significant brand exposure
- Collaborate with Australia’s leading university on future research and design projects
- Network with our bright engineering and IT graduate students
- Foster an ongoing relationship with the University of Melbourne
