Higher Education Innovation 🎓 Focused on reshaping how we evaluate teaching and learning, this research stream at Global Entrepreneurial Talent Management 4 Project aims to transform the landscape of Higher Education Innovation. By involving diverse perspectives from student entrepreneurs, teachers, industry, and Higher Education management, we are redefining how pedagogical activities are assessed and improved. 🧑🎓🏢 Objectives: 📚 Expand evaluation focus to include not just students’ or teachers’ views but also insights from young entrepreneurs, industry professionals, and management. 🔄 Remodel collaboration between universities and entrepreneurs/industry to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and professional practice. 🌐 Facilitate knowledge transformation from explicit (academic) to implicit (practical) and vice versa, creating a more dynamic and relevant learning environment. This innovative approach will enhance university-industry partnerships and ensure education evolves to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. 🌟 See more 👉 https://lnkd.in/ePHkqrsU #GETM4 #GlobalCollaboration #HigherEducation #Innovation #HumanizingDigitalWork #Sustainability #HealthAndWellbeing #SocialInnovation #DigitalResilience

We are happy to invite you to the 2nd Challenge4Impact Forum, in which we will discuss:   How to renew entrepreneurship curricula? How to implement international virtual CBL programmes? How to bridge barriers of international teams?   We live in times of multiple crises and challenges. International understanding, entrepreneurial action and sustainable innovation are more important than ever. New approaches and methods are increasingly needed to enable students to acquire the skills they need to overcome these challenges.   Challenge4Impact - an Erasmus+ project of the Universities of Oldenburg and Linköping and Vennebroek Academic Services. This is a network for Challenge-Based teaching regarding sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation. We focus on international and transdisciplinary cooperation and develop skills programs for students and business partners to tackle climate change and other sustainability challenges globally. We design and test these educational programmes and provide guidance materials to support lecturers and program managers at universities. Our project is nearing the end of its term and we would like to take the opportunity to discuss our results and experiences.   We would be delighted to welcome you to our Challenge4Impact Forum.

We published this a couple of years ago. It's a Member Resource which I think you will find both useful and interesting... I know I did! 🚀 Embedding Enterprise & Entrepreneurship in Higher Education: A Path to Student Success 🌍 Over the past two decades, the landscape of enterprise and entrepreneurship education has seen remarkable growth in the UK. This shift is largely driven by both government and EU investments, with a focus on fostering entrepreneurial activity that fuels economic growth. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have responded by offering an increasing diversity of programs, modules, and extra-curricular activities designed to help students develop their entrepreneurial mindsets. From regional and national competitions to practical business challenges, students are gaining invaluable exposure to real-world experiences, connecting with external stakeholders, and even starting businesses while still in school. However, while the momentum is undeniable, there are still challenges in embedding enterprise and entrepreneurship across disciplines outside of traditional business and management. 🌱 The Evidence is Clear: Entrepreneurial Skills Matter Emerging research continues to highlight the importance of fostering entrepreneurial competencies—not just for those looking to start their own ventures, but for all students aiming to thrive in the workforce. 🔍 Key Highlights from the Latest Case Study Series: In this second series of case studies, we explore a range of emerging initiatives that are helping to bridge the gap between enterprise education and diverse academic disciplines. These include: 🌐 Work-based learning challenges that connect students with regional organizations. 🤝 Cross-disciplinary teams that collaborate to enhance entrepreneurial ideas. 🧑💻 An innovation lab that encourages extra-curricular, hands-on learning. 🎓 Integrating employability and enterprise opportunities into study programs. 📱 Digital skills acceleration in the post-Covid era. These case studies showcase real examples of how HEIs are creating opportunities for students to learn, grow, and succeed through entrepreneurship. The project not only promotes innovation but also offers a safe space for institutions to share challenges and collaborate for continuous improvement. 🔗 Collaborative Effort for Student Success This series highlights the importance of collaboration—across disciplines, institutions, and sectors—in advancing enterprise and entrepreneurship education. We believe this series will provide insights, inspiration, and practical takeaways to enhance student outcomes and foster the entrepreneurial leaders of tomorrow. #HigherEd #Entrepreneurship #EnterpriseEducation #StudentSuccess #CollaborativeLearning #Innovation #SkillsDevelopment #EntrepreneurialMindset

🏔️ Entrepreneurship Meets Alpine Adventure: Transforming Business Education at FHV I'm thrilled to share an exciting case study about the innovative Entrepreneurship & Innovation Simulation course I led at Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (FHV) in Dornbirn, Austria. Over an intensive 3-day weekend, we took entrepreneurship education to new heights - literally and figuratively! Here's what made this experience unique: • Alpine Inspiration: We used the misty mountain trails as a metaphor for navigating business uncertainty. • Immersive Simulations: Students tackled real-world scenarios using cutting-edge tools from Strategy Tools. • Rapid Ideation: The pressure-cooker environment mirrored startup challenges, fostering agile thinking. • Diverse Perspectives: Our international group sparked creativity and innovative problem-solving. The results? Students emerged with enhanced adaptability, stronger pivoting skills, and some even planning to pursue their simulated ideas in the real world! This experience reinforced my belief in the power of experiential learning. By combining practical simulations with environmental inspiration, we're preparing the next generation of entrepreneurs to thrive in an ever-changing business landscape. Huge thanks to FHV - Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences for their trust and to Strategy Tools for their invaluable resources. Here's to pushing the boundaries of entrepreneurship education! 🚀 #EntrepreneurshipEducation #ExperientialLearning #InnovationInEducation #BusinessSimulation #AlpineInspiration #StrategyTools #FHVorarlberg https://lnkd.in/eGt73FpB

My master's thesis in collaboration with the Designing Education Lab at Stanford University was on how education can foster entrepreneurial and innovative self-believes. It turns out that a supportive community, interdisciplinarity, and practical and hands-on courses do ignite an interest in entrepreneurship and innovation. Besides that, they also foster personal development, open up (career development) opportunities, equip students with professional and technical skills, set them apart from others, and facilitate students to pivot careers. This study was based on the answers of the 136 alumni of the Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) program, of which 39 were pursuing entrepreneurship when taking the survey. #education #entrepreneurship #innovation
