European approaches to enterprise education

Abstract

This chapter provides comprehensive insights into European approaches to enterprise education. It introduces different approaches and identifies examples of national and academic enterprise education in Europe. The chapter reviews the literature relating to enterprise education in Europe and universities. It stresses that entrepreneurial activity in this context may refer simultaneously to different numbers of actors. The promotion of enterprise has been one of the aims of the Finnish higher education policy since the early 2000s. In 2006, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Trade and Industry established a working group for promoting enterprise in higher education. The Finnish entrepreneurial scene is largely built on students' activities. The South East European Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (SEECEL) was founded in 2009 in Zagreb, Croatia, by the joint initiative of eight countries. SEECEL develops policies at the regional and European Union levels and frameworks for implementing enterprise education, and coordinates regional initiatives.
