The Entrepreneurship and Innovation related goals for the course

Get and manage the material, non-material and digital resources needed to turn ideas into action
Plan and implement different steps from idea generation to pilot launch
The vision for students who have passed the course
We would love the students to be able to drive projects, to manage the resources that they need. We would also like them to find joy in creating value (for themselves, for others or society). Another aspect concerns networking, where we would like students to learn about finding and contacting interesting people. Further it is about setting their professional skills into practice, thus finding out what they can really use them for.
