A new, free, online I&E course, titled "Innovation & Entrepreneurship 2026: Deep Dive Intensive Course", is being offered in September-October 2026 by EURECA-PRO (European University for Responsible Consumption and Production) partner Mittweida University of Applied Sciences in Germany, as part of the ongoing EURECA-PRO Innovation & Entrepreneurship Programme.
🤝 Which public spaces did you enjoy spending time in, and which ones did you tend to avoid during past hot spell periods in many parts of Europe?
♻️ Are you curious to discover your own innovative abilities and explore how public spaces can be redesigned or reimagined to become more heat-safe, inclusive and climate-resilient?
🌱 Starting from this real-world challenge, the Deep Dive Intensive Course in Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E) will guide you step by step in developing a real or fictitious solution that helps make public spaces more liveable under future climate conditions.
💡 Our I&E experts will introduce you to the principles of design thinking for innovative problem solving, familiarize you with approaches and tools used by entrepreneurs in startups, and explain how an idea can be brought to life in the entrepreneurial world.
💡 You will also be introduced to the concept and use of Living Labs in I&E and have the chance to experience a virtual walk through a Living Lab.
🤓 Get to know the principles of design thinking to innovative problem solving and familiarize yourself with approaches and tools that entrepreneurs use in startups.
🤓 Your knowledge will be built and enhanced through lectures, workshops and counselling by I&E experts, as well as practically through your own pitch presentations and mutual learning through constructive peer review.
👉 Our online English-speaking I&E Deep Dive Intensive Course is now open for registrations to any person interested in sustainable entrepreneurship.
