Endorse in a nutshell
Endorse is a project aimed at creating modularized teaching material for potential student entrepreneurs, academia, and business incubators.
The teaching material covers various aspects of entrepreneurship, including business models, and is designed to enhance knowledge transfer and support young entrepreneurs from business idea generation to starting their businesses.
The project is carried out by partners from Sweden, Latvia, Poland, Germany and Austria, and each partner is responsible for specific tasks related to creating the teaching material.
The teaching concept is based on research and experience and employs an inquiry-based learning approach that is based on participatory activities.
The expected impact of the project includes reducing costs and risks related to business ventures for student entrepreneurs, improving the attractiveness of university locations for academic staff, and contributing to regional innovation networks.
The modularised teaching concept allows for use at multiple locations, and the location-specific modules are designed individually based on guidelines provided by the project.
