Global Entrepreneurial Talent Management 4 Project

🌍 GETM4 Sandpit – Day 4 Meaningful Conversations 🌍 Day 4 of the GETM4 Sandpit at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez's Vina del Mar campus was a day of deep reflection and collaboration, with sessions designed to inspire meaningful 'multiloguing' - our own concept of multilateral dialogue - and drive impactful research. Here’s what we explored: 1️⃣ Round Table: Respectful Translation Led by Asst. Profs Dr. Afua Owusu-Kwarteng (Northumbria University Newcastle) and Dr. Vincent Tawiah (Dublin City University), this session focused on the role of social evaluations in fostering respectful translation between regions. It created a thoughtful space for UAI participants to reflect on equitable knowledge-sharing practices. 2️⃣ Focus Group: Researcher Development The overall aim of GETM4 is the development of research capacity at various levels such as individual, institutional and national. Associate. Profs. Dr. Rose Quan and Dr. Shilpa Iyanna (Northumbria University, Newcastle) facilitated an intimate session for GETM4 participants to discuss their personal and professional growth within the project using formal competence criteria and measures. Insights from these discussions and interviewes throughout the life of the project will shape the final Researcher Development Report, a cornerstone deliverable of GETM4. 3️⃣ Integrated Working Session: Inspiring Entrepreneurship Stories Facilitated by Associate Prof. Katri-Liis Lepik (Tallinn University) and Prof. Ezeni Brzovska (Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje / Универзитет „Св. Кирил и Методиј“ во Скопје), participants worked collaboratively to develop inspiring entrepreneurship stories from around the globe. The eventual full set of stories draws on all four previous research streams to produce integrated and international research outputs with impact. 💬 These sessions exemplify the power of international collaboration in addressing critical issues, fostering inclusivity and generating innovative ideas.

Curiosity remains the spark that drives human ingenuity. It pushes us to explore beyond the boundaries of the known and ask the right questions. Something machines, can't replicate yet. Thanks to Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez and all their staff who made this possible and for their warm welcome and openness to exploring new ideas, methods, and perspectives. The workshop on #FutureThinking and #RadicalCircles using #Lego Serious Play, contributes to the ongoing effort to reimagine the Future of Universities— not as passive observatories but as active drivers of social and economic progress. This series of workshops has brought together academics, organisations, and students from Kenya, Ghana, South Korea, China, the UK, Ireland, Chile, Mexico, Slovenia, Poland, and Estonia and from Engineering, Psychology, Business, Design, Anthropology and Sociology disciplines. Each interaction has enriched the dialogue, highlighting the critical role of curiosity in shaping resilient institutions and preparing them to lead in uncertain times. Thanks to the Global Entrepreneurial Talent Management 4 Project, Prof. Alison Pearce from Northumbria University and Northumbria’s Newcastle Business School and all the members who made this possible. Together, we are exploring how universities can be catalysts for meaningful change. Let’s continue to nurture curiosity and collaboration in all its forms. #FutureThinking #FutureStudies #StrategicDesign #DesignThinking #LegoSeriousPlay #ResilientUniversities #GlobalCollaboration
