Entrepreneurship and Innovation

The previous experience in two LC from the first round allows us to leverage all experiences and activities delivered merging them with this new wage of Connected Communities. The transversal spirit of Entrepreneurship and innovation allows us to create this new Community in collaboration with already EUTOPIA engaged members to span its impact in a less risky and open way.

The CC will create a motivate environment across the EUTOPIA involved partners for researcher, student, staff and mentor participation and long-term commitment in the area of entrepreneurship and innovation. The methodology used will be based on a very applied approach, following a learning-by-doing method, where best practices will be continuously identified to jointly adopted, in a sustainable way.

The expansion of the Community is also foreseen from the very beginning. The experience of setting a EIT HEI proposal created a first partnership with components from all members of the alliance that will be invited to join it to become a fully EUTOPIA MORE activity.
