BRAZIL AND NORWAY COLLABORATE

In the last week of January, the team of the ExPOSE project held several meetings in Rio de Janeiro and Bento Gonçalves to plan and discuss research activities for 2019 and 2020.
The consortium involves the Nord Universitet, Fluminense Federal University, and Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Sul. For 2019, IBRAVIN (Brazilian Wine Institute) and Brazilian start-ups will receive graduate administration students from Norway as interns. On January 24 and 25, and 30 and 31 several meetings and visits were made to companies.
On 28 and 29 January a workshop was organized in Rio to prepare new submissions in response to calls from DIKU and EU agencies with the presence of researchers from the University of Campinas and Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro.

Tools and Opportunities for Digital and Responsible Entrepreneurship

 

DIGI-GRENT, acronym for “Digital and responsible entrepreneurship”, is a project funded and supported by the European Commission under the Erasmus + programme. As a project partner, the ISTUD Foundation and SEERC (a THA organizational Member) are involved together with the University of Almeria, the Valencian Federation of Metallurgic Enterprises, the Greek International Business Association, the University of Lodz, and the Foundation for Promotion of Entrepreneurship.
The project is aimed at supporting and backing European universities in the fine tuning of training paths targeted at developing key competencies for digital and responsible entrepreneurship, taking advantage of a strict cooperation among the economic actors, the universities, and the civil society (the so-called Quintuple Helix).
DIGI-GRENT foresees a preliminary phase in which the key competencies to be developed will be identified, as well as an operative phase for the planning and delivery of three pilot training events and the setting up of vitual tools and VLE for digital learning.
The pilot trainings will be marked out by the active involvement of all the actors of the Quintuple Helix (students or graduates, academic professors, political actors, environmental and technological associations, investors, managers and members of the civil society) and will last five days each. Traditional training sessions on different topics (eco-friendly digital business models, digital trends and digital security, bridging investors, business angels and digital and responsible startups, pitching strategies for digital and responsible entrepreneurs) and co-creation working phases in small groups will be the distinguishing trait of these events, named TCCP (Transnational Co-Creation Pitchings).
The main outputs of the project will be:

  • A skill taxonomy, pointing out skills and capabilities required for effectively promoting digital and responsible entrepreneurship.
  • A toolkit, developed under the principles of open innovation and aimed at making the final beneficiaries acquainted with the Quintuple Helix approach with the aim to co-create new digital and responsible business ideas.
  • A Virtual Learning Environment, conceived for collecting and sharing case studies, training materials and “new business ideas” which will be co-created during the pilot events.
