The partners of the Erasmus+ Start Digital – Sustainable – Profitable (Start-DSP)project, including the European University of the Atlantic (UNEATLANTICO), recently held a virtual meeting to discuss progress and next steps in the project.
The meeting was organized and hosted by the Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities (ACEEU) from Germany, with the active participation of the other partners: the European University of the Atlantic (UNEATLANTICO), Momentum Services from Ireland, European E-Learning Institute (EUEI) from Denmark, Metropolitan College from Greece and the German consultancy The Vision Works.
During the meeting, the partners shared progress on the interviews conducted with educators and entrepreneurs and briefly discussed some of the results. Among them, the variety of perspectives of the people interviewed was highlighted. Furthermore, it was remarked that the relevance of integrating green practices does not only depend on the target groups, but also on their professional experiences or background, their awareness of the concept of digitalization and sustainability, and the type of company, in the case of entrepreneurs.
After the phase of analysis of the results and discussion with the partners, the next task that the partners will focus on is the toolkit, developed by ACEEU, practice-oriented, and designed to sustainably increase the commitment and professionalism of entrepreneurship education in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The aim of this toolkit is to take into account different levels of maturity and professionalism and to improve the quality and impact of environmental education in European HEIs in general.
The partners established a timetable to move forward with the following actions. The next meeting will be held virtually on July 12.
