Entrepreneurial Skills, 1,5 ECTS

About

Today we all acknowledge that global society face a number of challenges that need new and creative solutions. We need to learn how to handle uncertainties and unpredictable situations in a productive and progressive way. To cope with these challenges and uncertainties there is a call for more entrepreneurial knowledge and skills.

This course contains four online modules supported by two online lectures. The online modules consist of individual work to be performed before set deadlines. At the end of the course there will be a two-day hackathon on site in Lund, Sweden when the students will work in teams with the task to deliver a solution to a challenge.

Students will receive a scholarship to meet their costs for travel and living. More information on travel arrangements, accommodation etc. will be sent to accepted students. (LU students participating in the course will not receive the scholarship.)
