On November 30, an online follow-up meeting of the European project D-EMIND was held, with the participation of all team members.
This meeting was attended by all members of the D-EMIND project team, coordinated by David Ródríguez-Gómez from CRiEDO. The team is made up of other members of CRiEDO UAB and various 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 served to evaluate the international training that was carried out at the end of October within the framework of this project. In addition, a follow-up was made of the general lines of work, the calendar was adjusted and the main aspects related to project management were agreed upon.
The project “D-EMIND-Promoting digital entrepreneurial mindsets in Higher Education”, funded within the Erasmus + program (Ref.: 2021-1-ES01-KA220-HED-000032185) and coordinated by David Rodríguez-Gómez, aims to continue with the activities developed within the framework of the ForEMlink project. It aims to encourage higher education institutions to design, develop and implement a methodology based on online challenges to promote the entrepreneurial mindset in higher education. For this, different strategies and learning tools will be designed. To achieve this objective, four interrelated results have been planned:
- Methodology and self-assessment tool:this result will focus on a greater development of the digital sphere of the ATOM Model, which promotes an entrepreneurial mindset (creativity, critical thinking, problem solving) among students in online environments. A self-assessment tool will also be created to measure creativity and entrepreneurial culture among students.
- Toolbox and D-EMIND Platform:a digital repository will be created with open resources to promote the entrepreneurial mindset. An intranet will also be developed to facilitate interactions between students, teachers, mentors and external organizations.
- Training Pack:the training of students, teachers and mentors is a fundamental part to promote 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, faculty and mentors. The MOOCS for students and faculty will be structured in 6 main units, one for each component of the Atom Model. An additional MOOC focused on tutoring for teachers, experienced entrepreneurs or any other key interested agent who wants to share their own business or expert experiences through productive dialogues between mentor and student will also be developed.
