Competencies for a sustainable socio-economic development

Joint goals are sustainable entrepreneurial training, increased collaboration between universities and companies and new university spin-offs and / or start-ups in the area of ​​sustainable entrepreneurship.

The Knowledge Alliance CASE jointly accepts the need of new ways of teaching and learning as well as a strong cooperation between higher education and business to enhance a sustainable socio-economic development in general and new forms of sustainable driven enterprises in particular.

The KA aims at changing the EU landscape of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) towards a stronger accentuation on new inter- and transdisciplinary ways of teaching and learning as well as sustainable entrepreneurial education, increasing university-business cooperation, new university spin-offs or relate start ups in the area of sustainable entrepreneurship and a subsequent change in the curricula of European HEIs.

This shall be achieved through the framework and basic elements of a new Joint Master Programme on “Sustainability Driven Entrepreneurship, Policies and Innovation” for European universities. Each module could also be used as “stand-alone” to offer universities substantial support and guidance.
