About the Summer school
TuBerlin, the lab on entrepeneurship research of the higher school of economics and NIKOS from the University of Twente, Netherlands, open a call for proposal for participation at the student’s cross-disciplinary summerschool
Exploring entrepreneurship: start-up under turbulent times
On August 5-11 2012 in Berlin, Germany.
We invite bachelor students, representing different faculties and/or having particular interest in investigating entrepreneurship. Ultimate prerequisite is a capacity to read and speak in English fluently. (If available, certificates of English language skills are highly welcomed).
The program will have a research focus with practical applications. The presented summer school does not imply any intensive training in business plan mastering or other activities to actually start-up. The preliminary program can be found elsewhere on this web-page.
The selection of students will be made after approval of the standard application (see the application from elsewhere on this web-page). All pre-selected students will be included into a small research group working on different kinds of small scale research projects to be presented at the Summer School. The final decision will be made after approval of the drafts of these research projects in early April.
