Entrepreneurship Theory
• Entrepreneurship needs to be considered more as an European, not just an US, phenomenon, with local adaptation of the entrepreneurial mindset
• All European societies need to be entrepreneurial with focus on the entrepreneur, developing entrepreneurial people and profitable business opportunities

Europreneurship
“Encouragingly, a new business generation is emerging in Europe, with shared
aspirations, values and outlooks. The common features among Europe’s 20
and 30-something entrepreneurs are far more striking than the differences”
(Leadbeater and Ussher 1999)

Europreneurship
• Europe needs new entrepreneurs, more now than ever!
• Entrepreneurship education is on the increase but the creative/innovation stage lacks focus
• Cross border collaboration and exchange is also desirable – less than 20% of faculty teach internationally
• Sharing of good practice needed, supported by joint research and new materials

The Initial Idea 1996
”We want to organise a conference, where students from different universities meet in an open atmosphere of initiative, creativity and
responsibility to learn with experienced entrepreneurs and to establish a common basis
for the entrepreneurial future in a Europe of regions, forming a nucleus for development and
change, a junction in a quickly developing European business-culture.“

Applied Sciences

Entrepreneurship Education
• Business planning already integrated into teaching programmes
• Business creativity and business development remain less well catered for
• Different tasks require different approaches and tools and all stages of new business evolution should be covered
• Innovation and creativity increasingly important in terms of responsiveness to unpredictable change
• Marketing mostly refers to deterministic or (based on Marketing Research) stochastic change

A ‚leverage-effect‘ should serve to spread the COEUR-idea in Europe:
European Growth
European coverage is not expected by growth of the network but by
multiplication of university networks !
Competition and cooperation have been experienced
