How a better understanding of entrepreneurship competence can foster university education? – the EICAA initiative
Entrepreneurship competence is one of the 8 “key competences” of the Life Long Learning programme of the EU. However, entrepreneurship competences are widely misunderstood and only considered as essential business knowledge and start-up building intentions. While according to the EntreComp Framework of European Commission, entrepreneurship competence is more about the entrepreneurial mind-set that covers a wide variety of skills from creativity through risk taking to self-awareness. A joint European project, called EICAA (“Entrepreneurial and Intrapreneurial Competences Assessment Alliance”) aims to make a significant step towards a common and wider understanding and assessment of entrepreneurship competence. The authors invite the audience to share their thoughts about this initiative and get a closer look of the entrepreneurship competence.
