Abstract

Modern higher education needs to provide skills needed in working life, such as entrepreneurship, besides the more traditional technological competence. The Boost I&E Project2 was developed in 2020 and 2021 with the aim of generating a set of guidelines for innovation and entrepreneurship challenge-driven projects for master's programmes. The added value was created by collaborating and exchanging best practices among higher education institutions in seven different countries, with the aim of developing students' skills with an international perspective and exposure to the knowledge triangle. The implementation of Boost I&E would allow learning about the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches in a practical way, while courses on urban mobility were provided. The activities involved more than 100 students over two years.
The experience concluded with the adoption of a set of guidelines based on best practices, covering several aspects. Most emphasis was placed on the methodology of the course, on sharing activities and on finding best practices and implications for stakeholders. Our experience can be useful for universities that want to open up their students to I&E.
