Entrepreneurial Awakening

This programme is to support EUR employees in developing the capabilities to improve and sustain innovation for society. At the university, many novel ideas and innovations are explored. Some are interesting enough to be further developed for practical application, or even for independent (startup) initiatives. But how?

Understanding what drives entrepreneurship and having an entrepreneurial spirit are critical success factors. Entrepreneurship Awakening will help you to understand and explore entrepreneurship in such a way that, whenever you have invented something, you do not start from scratch. Even if you do not see yourself as an entrepreneur, an entrepreneurial attitude will prove beneficial in an academic setting.

Learning objectives

  • Work on your entrepreneurial awakening: what is entrepreneurship? We not only focus on the individual, but also on your role in the team. What skills and activities does this require? How can we foster entrepreneurial behavior in the organisation?

  • Learn about business modeling: how do entrepreneurs create and capture value? Good ideas are Desirable, Feasible and Viable.

  • Analyze innovations from different perspectives: not only Technology & Investor Readiness, but also Community Readiness. Who are the stakeholders, what are their interests, how to involve them in the innovation process and how to create value in an ecosystem?
