Description

As part of the ENHANCE+ project, we provide a training programme at the interface of sustainability, entrepreneurship and innovation, and building upon existing practice of participants. Through the programme, participants will access, co-develop and discuss SEI (Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Innovation) tools and learning interventions that address the dynamic interface of sustainability and entrepreneurship in action. Learning interventions are designed workshops, tools, methods, or similar that trigger action and reflection connected to learning objectives. Framed through a model for entrepreneurial action, the programme guides participants in Design Action Sampling methodology to practice experience and reflection-based learning.

This programme consists of a 3-day in person workshop at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden between August 19-21 (2026), with additional interactive digital sessions where educators across the ENHANCE+ network universities share best-practices in teaching at the intersection of entrepreneurship and sustainability.

We are committed to advancing competence in sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation, with program leaders possessing decades of research- and action-based entrepreneurship education experience.
