Praxisevent 2014 für unternehmerisch geprägte Hochschulen in Madrid

Zeitraum: 29.09.2014 - 01.10.2014 Ort: Madrid Land: Spain

From September 29th to October 1st 2014, the University Industry Innovation Network (UIIN) and the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) will host the 2014 Good Practice Event on Entrepreneurial Universities in Madrid, Spain. The single most important event in 2014 for all those involved in making universities more engaged, innovation-oriented and entrepreneurial.

Universities and research institutions play a key role in today’s society. In addition to educating students and performing research, universities are more and more engaged with their region and business. However, the transition from a traditional university to a more engaged and entrepreneurial one is a complex and long journey. The 2014 Entrepeneurial Universities Event will bring together around 150 key stakeholders driving this change – in their university, research institution, or in government or intermediaries.

During this three day event, you will learn in detail about 25 good practice cases, each being extensively presented & discussed in 45 minutes. Furthermore, more than 40 concepts and ideas for further developing the entrepreneurial university will be showcased. In addition, attendees can participate in practical workshops and visit the UPM Science Park.
