UAB presents a new projects to promote social entrepreneurship
A new platform created by UAB will encourage innovation and social entrepreneurship in collaboration with institutions and entities. The Espai INnova en Emprenedoria Social (EINES) was presented in an institutional act in the Faculty of Economics and Business.
The goal of this new space is to encourage innovation and social entrepreneurship by bringing UAB’s synergies closer to their social and productive environment. For this, one of the three courses of action will be research and transference strongly linked to the territory with a big social impact. Regarding training, a new cross-wise masters’ degree will be implemented in order to generate a profile of qualified people in the field of social innovation. Advice will be approached in projects on social transformation that can channel ideas generated in university towards society.
The project also expects the creation of a teaching assistant in social entrepreneurship (that could lead to the publication of a yearbook or a prize awards to projects within this field) and a curricular internship engine in the sense of a postgraduate degree linked to social transformation both in public administration and non-profit in companies and entities.
