Jointly organised by the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) and the Polytechnic University of Cávado and Ave (IPCA), the SAP Research Challenge ‘Entrepreneurial Thinking in a Global Context’ is an introduction to the principles of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial thinking.

Students will explore the range of skills and the knowledge required to become successful entrepreneurs or intrapreneurs in a global business environment.

This SAP focuses on the development of simple business ideas, understanding fundamental business types, and examples of practical business planning.

Activities are designed to introduce concepts such as idea generation, feasibility analysis, competition analysis, branding, and promotion, alongside an overview of financial forecasting and tracking. In addition, topics related to cross-cultural communication and multicultural teamwork are highlighted as crucial skills for a global entrepreneurial mindset.

This programme will provide an experiential learning opportunity for RUN-EU students to visit an overseas partner institution and to gain a global perspective on entrepreneurship in different cultures.

Students will engage in stand-alone activities and in-class activities with TUS students and Saint Lawrence College students, Canada, who will be visiting TUS during the same period on a similar study programme.
