Coordination meeting of D-EMIND project

This third meeting served to strengthen the social relationship among the project members and to monitor the work lines, adjust the schedule, and agree on aspects related to its daily management. The meeting was attended by representatives from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the University College of Northern Denmark (Denmark), UC Limburg (Belgium), Hochschule Dusseldorf (Germany), and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Csongrad County (Hungary).

Currently, the team members are working on the requirements of the platform and the training package for teachers, students, and mentors. They have also reviewed and improved the dissemination strategy.

The project "D-EMIND-Promoting digital entrepreneurial mindsets in Higher Education", financed under the Erasmus + program (Ref.: 2021-1-ES01-KA220-HED-000032185) and coordinated by David Rodríguez-Gómez, aims to continue advancing in the activities developed within the ForEMlink project. Its objective is to promote that higher education institutions 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 goal, four results have been planned, which are related to each other: 

• Methodology and self-assessment tool: the result of this project will focus on further development of the digital sphere of the ATOM Model, which 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.
• Toolbox and D-EMIND Platform: a digital repository with open resources to promote 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 independently 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 into six main units, one for each component of the ATOM Model. An additional MOOC will be developed focused on mentoring for teachers, experienced entrepreneurs, or any other key stakeholder interested in sharing their own business or expert experiences through productive dialogues between mentors and students.
