Sustainable Entrepreneurship

Creating economic, ecological, and social value

Im Rahmen des Erasmus+ Projektes INTRINSIC (INnovative educaTion foR sustaInable eNtrepreneurShip In Life sCiences) erarbeitet die BOKU gemeinsam mit 8 Partnerinstitutionen innovative Lehr- und Lernressourcen:
im Fokus steht dabei die systematische Förderung des „entrepreneurial mindsets“, Kompetenzen und Fähigkeiten für Studierende von Life Science Universitäten mit Bezug zu nachhaltigem Unternehmertum (“Sustainable Entrepreneurship”).
Die Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) der Vereinten Nationen sind dabei der übergeordnete Kontext.

Eine offene interaktive e-Plattform und eine mobile Applikation („Connected Educator App“) soll es interessierten Lehrenden ermöglichen, sich quer über alle Life Science Universitäten in Europa vernetzen.

Weiters geht es in INTRINSIC darum, Good-Practice Beispiele für Sustainable Entrepreneurship Education an europäischen Life Science Universitäten zu sammeln, eine App zur Verfolgung von unternehmerischen Aktivitäten von Studierenden zu entwickeln, sowie ein interaktives Gestaltungs-Tool für die Lehre von Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Life Sciences sowie ein Train-the-Trainer Modul zu erarbeiten.

Insgesamt 10 geplante Webinare mit anerkannten ExpertInnen bilden eine wichtige gemeinsame Basis zum derzeitigen Stand des Wissens.
