Abstract

The main hub for EE at the University of Valencia (UV) is the externally settled Business Culture Chair (BCC) which is part of the University-Business Foundation ADEIT. Although ADEIT and the BCC do not currently provide curricular offers in EE, it has a remarkable influence on the teaching style across the whole university. The main activity is an annual one-week Valencian Professors Summer School (VPSS) based on the train-the-trainer principle. The concept aims to sensitize and teach entrepreneurship to the universities’ lecturers. The focus is on how to discover and promote the entrepreneurial spirit and mindset among their students. Due to the interdisciplinary participants the concept can be spread out and implemented in the whole university. The main lesson learned is how to establish a teaching style that promotes entrepreneurship in the classroom and thus inspires participants instead of teaching actual business knowledge. Evaluation is provided through the business idea competition MOTIVEM where student teams, which are mentored by former VPSS participants, develop their own business ideas. To reinforce the impact of the VPSS, lecturers from different Spanish and international universities are encouraged to participate in order to implement the VPSS idea in their own university environment.
