ACEEU PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Fostering the Future of Entrepreneurship in Higher Education with ACEEU
Shaping the future through entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is crucial in shaping the future of higher education and our society. At ACEEU, we actively bring this entrepreneurial spirit to universities through collaboration in Erasmus+ projects. These projects allow us to cooperate with various institutions, aiming to enhance entrepreneurial skills and mindsets at both the university-wide and departmental levels.
A first example is our involvement in the WeRin project, which strives to make entrepreneurship education and support programs more inclusive for women. This initiative includes pilot programs, guidelines, and the development of criteria to ensure inclusiveness and diversity in the programs. In the RestArt project, we are helping women and non-binary people in arts and creative fields who want to get their businesses going again after facing challenges. Finally, in our most recent project, START-DSP, we aim to revolutionise Higher Education by infusing green, digital, sustainable, and profitable entrepreneurial principles by developing free integrated resources like a toolbox, an app and an online knowledge hub.
These projects are just a couple of examples of what we do at ACEEU. We encourage you to keep an eye out for more updates on our projects as we continue to promote entrepreneurship in higher education.
ACEEU PROJECTS
RestArt is looking for mentors
Become a mentor!
We are excited to share the RestART Europe Project, which is focused on empowering female and non-binary entrepreneurs in the arts and creative industries seeking to restart their businesses after a prior setback. The project's primary goal is to provide these entrepreneurs with essential digital, entrepreneurial, and 21st-century skills through the support of trained mentors who have themselves honed their expertise.
For this project, we are looking for experienced mentors willing to join the RestART Europe platform and occasionally mentor enthusiastic mentees according to times suitable for you (it could be one session once in 3 months, for example). If you would like to learn more about the project, please explore our website and the platform where you could register if this looks like an interesting initiative.
If you are interested in the intersection between Artificial Intelligence and Social Sciences, we have an upcoming event that is perfect for you!
On December 15th at 10 am (CET), we are organising an Online EdTech Cafe as part of the GRIT project. This event will provide a platform to share and discuss the bridges between social sciences and artificial intelligence. The event is open to researchers and students from EU universities.
To learn more about the project, please visit our website. If you would like to attend the event, please register here.
