Unfortunately, not! The compulsory attendance refers to each one person that participates individually.
As regards the Bootcamp, there is a restriction of one individual per organization. Apart from that, HIGGS is open to the number of people selected by each organization to work at its premises.
Of course! HIGGS welcomes applications from all over Greece – thus, we fully cover the accommodation cost for all the participants in our programs coming from cities outside Athens.
Hosted organizations may use all the building and office equipment to cover their practical needs, as well as all the services provided by the instructors, external associates and HIGGS’s staff.
Daily life in the programs and in the HIGGS building is exciting. The coexistence of all participants either in person or online with the facilitators, staff, and external partners takes place in a pleasant collaborative atmosphere. The HIGGS spaces are fully equipped (offices, meeting rooms, relaxation areas, etc.) and offer a unique experience conducive to learning, networking and creativity. Our coexistence at HIGGS allows us to work together, in company, co-create and collaborate, learn from each other, and share common concerns and experiences.
As a general rule, the Bootcamp can be attended by one person from each selected organisation and one observer.
Although it is possible for someone to apply for both programs, there is no real reason for doing that. The participants in the Incubator have access to all services offered in the Accelerator while they enjoy additional benefits related to their organization itself.
HIGGS is located only in Athens but its main programmes are offered online, so that organisations from all over Greece can participate. Also, from time to time, we make sure that we are also present in person in cities of the region, either for individual events or as HIGGS Pop Ups and offer our services to organizations located far from Athens.
Your attendance is mandatory during the Bootcamp. For the rest duration of each program, the time spent in HIGGS is determined by the organization and the individual involved. However, we consider that the added value of participating in HIGGS is maximized by your increasing participation in HIGGS’s activities.
It is at the discretion of each organization to decide which member is the most suitable to attend HIGGS’s programs. We recommend that the person selected should have a lot of experience in the organization and be expected to remain in it so as the knowledge and techniques acquired through HIGGS may be disseminated to the whole organization.
Of course! HIGGS wishes to be a point of reference for all NPOs in Greece and, therefore, we are open to all organizations.
