FURTHER INFORMATION

Language speaking?
Our seminars and all documents along with them will be in English, only.

Why seminars?
The goal of an international seminar is to facilitate and to mobilize students to get more and longer international experiences and to raise student mobility. During the seminars, students should get acquainted with both students and teachers from other countries. They will follow lectures and/or work together on entrepreneurship in different ways. They will face other views and other methods in the field of entrepreneurship at the university, hosting that specific year. Their intercultural competences will be enlarged.

We also want to encourage the students to be entrepreneurial in their environment, build self-confidence, create meaningful relationships and unlock creativity. The seminar gives young potentials the opportunity to enhance their entrepreneurial and analytical skills. It will also widen their network with peers who are, through their choosing, our future leaders.
