Idea Contest: Social Innovation & Transformational Entrepreneurship (Seminar)

Inhalt: In the past, the primary role of entrepreneurship has been seen as founding new ventures and securing economic growth. Recently, the questions have shifted as the climate crisis, economic crisis and a global pandemic have pressed themselves into the forefront of policy and research debates. With this shift from economic growth and innovation to the so-called “grand challenges” of the 21st century, we need to carefully rethink entrepreneurship, its role in society – and your possible role in addressing these challenges. In self-managed group projects, you will develop your own ideas to address some of the current challenges. These can be ideas for new ventures, but also for social initiatives, art projects, forms of collective resistance or similar depending on your preferences and objectives. To increase the possibility of having a real-life impact, you will have several opportunities to involve cooperation partners, engage with potential stakeholders and receive feedback from (regional) institutions. The seminar consists of a variety of workshop elements, supporting you in the idea development and group process, as well as some theoretical input and discussions to ensure a continuous individual and group reflection process.
