LERU Launch Event: "Student entrepreneurship at research-intensive universities. From a peripheral activity towards a new mainstream."
Our society increasingly needs entrepreneurial attitudes and skills. What this precisely entails, why research-intensive universities are ideally positioned to stimulate the emergence of these attitudes and skills, and how student entrepreneurship can be supported and organised, is set out in a new LERU advice paper, entitled “Student entrepreneurship at research-intensive universities. From a peripheral activity towards a new mainstream”.
This event has ended
We are pleased to invite you to the paper’s launch event that will be held in Brussels on 30 April. At the event the paper, as well as best practices of different LERU universities will be presented.
