Coordination meeting D-EMIND

This second meeting of the project partners has served to continue strengthening the social sphere of the participating members, as well as to monitor the general lines of work, adjust the calendar and agree on the main aspects related to the daily management of the project. Representatives from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, ​​​​University College of Northern Denmark (Denmark), UC Limburg (Belgium), Hochschule Dusseldorf (Germany) and Csongrad County Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Hungary) participated in the meeting.

The project "D-EMIND-Promoting digital entrepreneurial mindsets in Higher Education", financed within the framework of the Erasmus + program (Ref.: 2021-1-ES01-KA220-HED-000032185) and coordinated by David Rodríguez-Gómez, intends to continue advanced in the activities developed within the framework of the ForEMlink project. Its objective is to encourage higher education institutions to design, develop and test a methodology based on online challenges to promote an entrepreneurial mindset in higher education, for which different learning strategies and tools will be designed. To achieve this objective, four results have been planned, which are related to each other:

• Self-assessment methodology and tool: The outcome of this project will focus on further development of the digital sphere of the ATOM Model that fosters an entrepreneurial mindset (creativity, critical thinking, problem solving) among students in online environments. In addition, a self-assessment tool will be created to measure creativity and entrepreneurial culture among students.
• D-EMIND Toolbox and Platform: a digital repository with open resources to promote the entrepreneurial mindset. An intranet will be created to facilitate interactions between students, teachers, mentors and external organizations.
• Training Pack: the training of students, teachers and mentors is a fundamental part of promoting the use of the online platform and the entrepreneurial methodology developed. This result will contribute to developing the capacity of teachers, students and mentors to autonomously implement the D-EMIND methodology.
• D-EMIND MOOCs: the consortium will develop three open courses for students, teachers and mentors. The MOOCS for students and teachers will be structured in 6 main units, one for each component of the Model Atom. An additional MOOC focused on mentoring will also be developed for teachers, experienced entrepreneurial prisons or any other key stakeholders who want to give back their own business or expert experiences through productive mentor-student dialogues.
