EIT InnoEnergy is making a direct impact on Europe’s clean energy transition by fostering student’s entrepreneurial ambitions. One of the cutting-edge programmes being used to achieve this is the Entrepreneurship Journey – which motivates students from the Master’s in Energy for Smart Cities (EFSC) that want to be entrepreneurs and allows them to increase the probability of their success in a highly competitive market. And the methodologies behind this innovative programme are being Internationally recognised by IEEE – the world’s largest technical professional organisation for the advancement of technology!
This April in Dubai, IEEE held their annual globally acclaimed education conference for engineering programmes – EDUCON. They hosted leaders in the education field including representatives of the programme, who presented papers highlighting the techniques used to accelerate the entrepreneurial path of students. The Entrepreneurship Journey – parallel activities organised as part of this MSc programme – was in the spotlight, and aligned perfectly with the conference’s theme of “engineering education through student engagement”.
