Description of the Project
In eastern Croatia, where J.J. Strossmayer University in Osijek is located, economic indicators are significantly worse than Croatian average is: uneployment is higher, entrepreneurial activity is lower, GDP/c is lower. University initiative of starting entrepreneurship education (Master's degree program) in year 2000 was directly targeting issues of regional unemployment and low entrepreneurial activity. Fully demand driven program opened questions for further development of the program and outreaching not only inside the university, but wider demand in Croatia and in neighbouring countries, like Western Balkan.
The wider objective of the project is to develop an international center of excellence for learning and teaching entrepreneurship in Croatia in order to lever a process of changes, through developing the entrepreneurial capacity of academic experts. The project International Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies (ICES) will contribute substantially toward this wider objective with three specific project objectives:
• To create a modular Ph.D. program in Entrepreneurship and Innovation aiming to build a critical mass of intellectual capacity (academic base) for entrepreneurship education (more…)
• To develop a virtual learning platform based on new innovative methods and tools to be used by all higher education consortium members to deliver effective entrepreneurial programs of all kinds (more…)
• To create the interdisciplinary and outreaching model of university entrepreneurship education (entrepreneurship across campus) that strongly contributes to the commercialization of the university intellectual property and to the development of the overall entrepreneurial culture of the university and business community (more…)
