SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN LIFE SCIENCES

At many Life Science universities the development of entrepreneurial competencies is currently not well integrated into the mainstream curriculum at the Bachelor and Master levels. The design of curricular interventions, teachers’ pedagogical methods and assessment criteria for the delivery of sustainable entrepreneurial teaching are underdeveloped. 

As a result a significant latent potential of students’ entrepreneurial innate skills remains untapped. That is why INTRINSIC aims a the systematic integration of Sustainable Entrepreneurship Education in Life Science curricula.


PROJECT GOAL

Supporting the development of the entrepreneurial potential of students is of special relevance to Life Science Universities whose priorities are for a “smart, sustainable and inclusive” development and utilisation of bio-renewable resources, the sustainable management of the natural resources, the need for food and nutritional security and safety, the enhancement of the economic viability of the food and non-food value chains, and the reduction of poverty – all necessary efforts in order to achieve the delivery of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. 

Therefore INTRINSIC aims to empower Life Science University teachers to develop their students' Sustainable Entrepreneurship Competencies so as to prepare their graduates to be being effective entrepreneurs and leaders to address the challenges of Europe`s future sustainable prosperity.


PROJECT OUTPUT

INTRINSIC will deliver five innovative intellectual outputs (O1 to O5) see also RESOURCES.

O1: An open modular interactive ePlatform to develop teaching and assessment activities for Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Life Sciences, to collaborate and develop a professional learning network and teaching portfolio, supported also by a mobile App.
O2: A mobile APP to monitor entrepreneurial-related activities of students
O3: A design tool for teaching Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Life Sciences
O4: A train-the-trainer staff development module 
O5: An online case study collection and good practice examples as support and guidance for teachers using the INTRINSIC ePlatform.
