Enhancing entrepreneurial education in higher education institutions (HEIs) can significantly reduce the fear of failure by fostering innovation, self-confidence, and risk-taking skills. Although technical, scientific, and artistic studies often lead to innovative and viable start-ups, there is a notable lack of emphasis on cultivating entrepreneurial skills within these fields.

​

ENTRANCE aims to reinforce the entrepreneurial competencies of non-business academics and their students. The goal is to support these individuals in becoming self-employed, starting new businesses (start-ups), or developing and growing existing ventures (e.g., spin-offs), while also advancing their university careers. Through this initiative, academics across all fields can gain a better understanding of entrepreneurship and effectively start their own businesses or transfer these concepts to others, as entrepreneurship is relevant to every field of study.

​

During the project, the following outputs have been developed:

1. An Entrepreneurial Training Program and Case Videos for non-business academics and their students.

2. A Business Plan Toolkit to assist non-business academics and their students in generating and refining their business ideas.

3. A Consolidated Pilot Report from the piloting phase of the MOOC in partner countries.

4. A Pedagogical Guide, which provides guidelines and practices for non-business academics, serving as a reference for guiding distance learning through the developed MOOC.
