Empowering Student Innovators: Framing Entrepreneurship Education in Europe

The work aims to investigate the drivers of student entrepreneurship in the EU by taking the lens of academic programs, in order to frame the contents that should be thought and the environment that should be created to foster student entrepreneurship. Through a systematic literature review and the use of a software-assisted approach, the work allows for the construction of a framework of EU student entrepreneurship that takes into account the key components of the curricula and the education environmental factors that are relevant for the enhancement of entrepreneurial ideas among students. The work emphasizes the importance of the connection between curricula and the entrepreneurial world, the development of soft skills combined with technical competences and interpersonal skills. It also stresses the relevance of providing programs with technological and physical infrastructures and of ensuring continuous teacher training.
