Seminar: Teaching the Entrepreneurs of the Future

NHL Stenden University in cooperation with the partners of the  Erasmus+ project BeyondScale would like to invite you to attend an international hybrid seminar. 

The interest of students to start a business during or after their degree program is increasing. The question is how this ambition can be integrated into the education of the future. How do students, lecturers and entrepreneurs think the road to self-employment can best be paved? How do education providers and entrepreneurs effectively use the increasing opportunities? And what can entrepreneurship-focused education programs in other European countries teach us?

WHEN and WHERE:

November 18, 2021, 10:00 - 17:00 CET

NHL Stenden, Rengerslaan 8-10, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands (or participate online)

SPEAKERS:
