Content and Learning Goals:
Students of the Micro-Credential “Sustainable Entrepreneurship” will learn the fundamental principles of entrepreneurship and different dimensions of sustainability. This includes all issues on operative, tactical and strategic levels relevant to founding new businesses, for intrapreneurial activities and for Research and Development (R&D) or New Product Development (NPD).
Graduates of the programme will be able to apply entrepreneurial thinking to developments and research in chemistry and related fields in order to recognize opportunities and to develop new business ideas in this field.
The practice-related aspects of the programme focus on innovation, management practices and the allocation of resources leading towards the creation and growth of environmentally, socially and ethically sensitive business models. This includes gaining expertise in management, decision making, legal provisions, accounting and developing the ability to prepare sensible solutions for technical or business challenges. In addition, team work is promoted.
Timetable and Course List:
Students can plan their study schedule individually and can start either in the summer term or in the winter term. It is suggested to start with the mandatory module Venture Campus or Treasure Hunting:
Venture Campus - From idea to business plan (12 ECTS)
The course Venture Campus takes a hands-on approach, as interdisciplinary student groups select one of the innovative ideas conceived during the Design Thinking phase and embark on a transformative journey. They will develop their chosen idea from scratch into a comprehensive Business Plan, honing their project management, financial, and strategic skills along the way. This module encourages students to apply their knowledge and expertise to create sustainable and inclusive construction solutions that are not only innovative but also viable in the market.
Prior to attending in-person classes, participants will have access to instructive video content that covers the theoretical foundations of each module. These videos serve as a preparatory resource, enabling students to familiarize themselves with essential concepts and principles at their own pace. During the scheduled in-person class hours, our focus shifts to interactive engagement. This time is dedicated to addressing questions, fostering discussions, and applying the acquired knowledge in practical scenarios.
