D-EMIND project follow-up meeting

At this meeting, all the members of the D-EMIND project team were convened, coordinated by David Ródríguez-Gómez from CRiEDO, and made up of other members of CRiEDO UAB and different European universities such as the University College of Northern Denmark (Denmark), UC Limburg (Belgium), Hochschule Dusseldorf (Germany) and Csongrad County Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Hungary). This meeting of the project partners has served to monitor the general lines of work and adjust the calendar and agree on the main aspects related to its management.

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, aims 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 the entrepreneurial mindset in higher education, for which different strategies and learning 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.

• Toolbox and D-EMIND 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 into 6 main units, one for each component of the Model Atom. An additional MOOC focused on mentoring will also be developed for faculty, experienced entrepreneurial prisons or any other interested key actor who wants to give back their own entrepreneurial or expert experiences through productive dialogues between mentor and student body.
