Trainings on Sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Do you have an innovative idea but aren’t sure how to bring it to life? Would you like to learn about sustainable entrepreneurship, gain practical skills, and receive mentorship from experienced experts? Do you also want to connect with international participants who share your goals? Today’s environmental and social challenges require more than just good ideas—they demand entrepreneurial action grounded in sustainable values. That is why the University of Primorska, University of Alicante, University of Saarland, and Mariupol State University have joined forces in the Boosting Innovative and Knowledge-based Entrepreneurship (BIKE-HEI) project. Together, they are organizing a series of trainings designed to open doors to innovative, sustainable entrepreneurship and successful start-ups.

The first training, Sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship, will take place between October and December 2025.

It is aimed at three groups—students, academic staff, and professional staff—each with a separate program tailored to their specific needs and professional background:

• Students: Driving Sustainable Innovation: Green Transition, Effective Communication & Entrepreneurship
• Academic staff: Strategies for Green Transition and Organisational Resilience
• Non-academic staff: Innovation, Digital Tools, and Green Transition

Applications are now open! Interested students can apply via this link. Upon completion, students will receive a certificate recognizing 2 ECTS credits.

Academic and professional staff can register via this form: https://forms.office.com/e/VVHLVXymMG.

All registered participants will receive detailed information in time on how to access the online classroom, where they will find links to meetings, learning materials, and additional content.

As one of the goals of the BIKE-HEI project is to enhance business opportunities and promote entrepreneurship, participants with a business idea will also have access to professional mentorship.

In the next three days, we will share more detailed information about each training. Stay tuned!
