Description:
The BIOHEALTH Gear Box Alliance (BIO-ALL) results from the reflection around the entrepreneurial skills development instruments which are not effectively structured and implanted into the education curricula offers of schools and universities and are especially needed in sectors where the acceleration processes to the commercialization is more difficult, BIOHEALTH.The report Entrepreneurship Education and the Future of Learning (2013), pointed out challenges to be addressed: how to scale up good practice small scale/pilots to implementation on a broad scale; overcome the insufficient involvement of stakeholders (particularly business/community); monitor programs and methods; overcome the lack of data for alumni/start-ups; impact assessment to guide policy makers; assessment not suitable to methods/outcomes; and lack of interest.BIO-ALL is coherent with the challenges presented and aims to develop innovative and multidisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning entrepreneurial skills and competences, easing the exchange, flow and co-creation of educational assets and knowledge. BIO-ALL will foster co creation collaborative dynamics between and within relevant actors of the ecosystem (HEI staff/students, Business, Incubators/Accelerators, Investors and other relevant stakeholders), which will underpin and sustain ground-breaking educative assets (international joint post-graduation), methodologies and schemes (international joint acceleration programme and a dedicated Hub), stepping up the responsiveness of the higher educational offer to the current and future needs and supporting entrepreneurship in the sector.The main results include a sectoral Blueprint, an International Joint Post-Graduation, an International Joint Acceleration Programme and a Virtual Hub, designed and feed by the cooperation between Academia, Business and Incubators/Accelerators.
