Together with 15 partners from Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Finland, Armenia, Moldova and Georgia, Ilia State University unites forces in order to reinforce university-industry collaboration based on smart (multidimensional) entrepreneurial approach in higher education institutions from Eastern Partnership countries and enhancement of students’ and graduates’ competitive intelligence (behaviors, skills, mindsets) and their ability to create jobs.
The project runs for 3 years and has the following interrelated objectives:
- Increase the teaching and learning capacity of universities on entrepreneurship, digital, communication, and artistic/self-expression education;
- Improve students’ entrepreneurial behaviors, skills, mindsets of future start-ups, and support recently incorporated companies at university settings.
- Foster the infrastructure of co-creative hubs such as Smart Café which support students who generate, develop, market their own innovative ideas through entrepreneurship &/or open innovation in three EaP countries.
- Introduce and implement the new and innovative form of the interconnection of university-enterprise systems through join activities.
- Improve involvement of the students who do not automatically come into contact with entrepreneurial studies and enhance problem-based learning, entrepreneurial skills, behaviors, mindsets through the interdisciplinary approach by revising of curricula and dissemination events.
