Today, the question of renewable energy should permeate all types and sizes of organizations and more specifically emerging structures that are composed of dynamic and engaged team members. At the same time, the progress in terms of developing the use of renewable energy depends on the possibility to formulate a vast scope of questions, objectives, and business answers. This only can take place in an agenda that fully integrate all the potentials of the EU entrepreneurial spirit. Therefore, this project aims at promoting a dynamic interdisciplinary perspective that articulates the corporate, scientific, and pedagogical skills and knowledge that characterize the two fields of renewable energy and entrepreneurship. EntRENEW project brings together 5 leading universities and 1 technical company from 6 EU MSs to achieve the following specific objectives: SO 1: FACILITATE THE EXCHANGE , FLOW AND CO-CREATION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE - Bringing together partners from top EU universities in the field of innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship and energy studies in order to create a trans-disciplinary innovative content tailored to deepen the technical knowledge of students with business background and strengthen the entrepreneurial mindset and skills of students from engineering majors. SO 2: ENABLING PROFESSORS TO TEACH TRANS-DISCIPLINARY STUDIES THROUGH INNOVATIVE METHODS AND IT TOOLS - Develop a new teaching course content on Entrepreneurship in renewable energy (ERE) being interdisciplinary and cross sectoral topic fostering direct link of HE to innovation and business world - Develop an Innovating Teaching Methodology through Blended Learning, Trans-Disciplinary Approach to content design and Applying the Principles of Gamification SO 3: STIMULATE SYNERGIES BETWEEN UNIVERSITIES AND ENTREPRENEURIAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT EUROPE - Improve future integration to the labour market; - Stimulate self-employment prospects of MA graduates by granting them training and access to networks for business purposes in Europe (startup hubs in climate change and entrepreneurship); - Increase of entrepreneurship initiatives in Europe in the field of Renewable energy The project will last 36 months and will be divided in 6 WP, 5 Intellectual outpus (IOs), management and implementation activities and 5 national multiplier events with prominent international guests and short demo sessions. The EntRENEW methodology aims at i) specifying the blended-learning pedagogical approach (WP1 – IO1), ii) developing training contents for the EntRENEW course (WP2 – IO2), iii) developing the technical platform and implementing these contents on innovative LMS designed for the needs of EntRENEW project (WP3 – O3), and iv) testing the blended-learning course with students, optimisation and integration in the MA programmes of consortium HEIs (WP4 – O4). The final result from EntRENEW project is the development of a trans-disciplinary HE blended-learning course at the intersection of entrepreneurship and technology (smart, sustainable and renewable energy applied studies) addressing students enrolled in MA programmes in both business schools, engineering and design schools and joint study programmes and potentially being replicated in other educational contexts. The long-term impact will be to create a new generation of decision makers who will explore concrete entrepreneurial solutions in support of EU countries facing the important challenge of maintaining their social and economic performance and being more eco-responsible, especially in terms of energy.
Le projet vise à : 1) FACILITER L'ÉCHANGE, LE FLUX ET LA CO-CRÉATION DE NOUVELLES CONNAISSANCES pour approfondir les connaissances techniques des étudiants ayant une formation commerciale et les compétences entrepreneuriales des étudiants en ingénierie. 2) PERMETTRE AUX PROFESSEURS D'ENSEIGNER DES ÉTUDES TRANSDISCIPLINAIRES PAR DES MÉTHODES INNOVANTES ET DES OUTILS INFORMATIQUES comme l'apprentissage hybride et la gamification. 3) STIMULER LES SYNERGIES ENTRE LES UNIVERSITÉS ET LES SYSTÈMES DE SOUTIEN À L'ENTREPRENEURIAT EN EUROPE pour améliorer l'intégration sur le marché du travail et augmenter les initiatives entrepreneuriales dans le domaine des énergies renouvelables. The project aims to: 1) FACILITATE THE EXCHANGE, FLOW AND CO-CREATION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE to deepen the technical knowledge of students with a business background and the entrepreneurial skills of engineering students. 2) ENABLE FACULTY TO TEACH TRANSDISCIPLINARY STUDIES THROUGH INNOVATIVE METHODS AND IT TOOLS such as blended learning and gamification. 3) STIMULATE SYNERGIES BETWEEN UNIVERSITIES AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP SUPPORT SYSTEMS ACROSS EUROPE to improve labor market integration and increase entrepreneurial initiatives in the field of renewable energy.
Le projet EntRENEW était conçu pour favoriser la réussite des initiatives entrepreneuriales en Europe par rapport aux objectifs du Green Deal européen en répondant à trois besoins concrets, c’est-à-dire à la nécessité de : 1) combler les lacunes des programmes actuels de l'enseignement supérieur en termes de connaissances entrepreneuriales adaptées aux besoins du secteur des nouvelles énergies. 2) accroître l'utilisation de pédagogies nouvelles et innovantes dans l'enseignement supérieur afin d'augmenter la motivation des étudiants. 3) renforcer la collaboration entre les étudiants européens et la communauté entrepreneuriale. The EntRENEW project was designed to promote the success of entrepreneurial initiatives in Europe in relation to the objectives of the European Green Deal by responding to three concrete needs, i.e. the need to: 1) fill the gaps in current higher education programs in terms of entrepreneurial knowledge adapted to the needs of the new energy sector. 2) increase the use of new and innovative pedagogies in higher education in order to increase student motivation. 3) strengthen collaboration between European students and the entrepreneurial community.
