The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens organizes a workshop on Education and Learning Issues in Entrepreneurship from 3 to 5th July 2013.

The workshop aims to bring together scholars from both Entrepreneurship and Education to address issues on understanding and promoting entrepreneurship. A priority of the field is the development of entrepreneurial theory along with innovative instruction to facilitate formal or informal entrepreneurial learning. A theory for entrepreneurship requires understanding of personal and societal factors as well as appropriate modeling. Challenges in entrepreneurship education include the design of relevant courses and the development of instruction that fosters innovation and business venturing. The workshop will consider themes such as: entrepreneurial learning, entrepreneurial competencies, entrepreneurship educationand entrepreneurship and lifelong learning.

Learn more about the workshop here.

For the workshop, the University is calling for papers on the topic which address:

• Practical learning of entrepreneurs and its relationship to learning theories;
• Learning associated with entrepreneurial decision making and beliefs;
• Learning as a component for entrepreneurship theory development;
• Entrepreneurial competencies and traits of habitual, latent, nascent or expert entrepreneurs;
• Entrepreneurial competencies for entrepreneurship education and training;
• Entrepreneurial career counselling;
• Entrepreneurial curricula in different contexts, countries, groups and levels of education;
• Innovative instruction and learning activities;
• The impact of entrepreneurship education and training;

• Entrepreneurship in the context of vocational training;
• Entrepreneurship and priorities for personal and career development

Global Entrepreneurship Week is the world’s largest celebration of the innovators and job creators who launch startups that bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and expand human welfare.

During one week each November, GEW inspires people everywhere through local, national and global activities designed to help them explore their potential as self-starters and innovators. These activities, from large-scale competitions and events to intimate networking gatherings, connect participants to potential collaborators, mentors and even investors—introducing them to new possibilities and exciting opportunities.

The initiative kicked off in 2008, launched by former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Carl Schramm, the president and CEO of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Since then, it has grown to 115 countries—with nearly 24,000 partner organizations planning more than 37,000 activities that directly engage more than 7 million people.

With so many new jobs in entrepreneurial economies coming from firms less than five years old, it is not surprising that leaders around the world are looking to reinvigorate their economies by focusing on ways to stimulate new firm formation. Global Entrepreneurship Week helps map the entrepreneurial ecosystem in those countries and enjoys the participation and support of presidents and prime ministers on every continent, including: President Barack Obama (US); Prime Minister David Cameron (UK); Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel); President Anibal Cavaco Silva (Portugal); Prime Minister Stephen Harper (Canada); President John Atta Mills (Ghana); and, numerous ministers focused on advancing economic growth.

But GEW is more than just an awareness campaign supported by world leaders and celebrity entrepreneurs. It is about unleashing ideas and doing what it takes to bring them to life—spotting opportunities, taking risks, solving problems, being creative, building connections and learning from both failure and success. It is about thinking big and making your mark on the world—doing good while doing well at the same time.

YEN Marketplace organizes another webinar focused on Technology Solutions for M&E:

Monitoring & Evaluation helps focus resources, and make development aid effective. It is often slow, hard, and expensive work: but it doesn't always have to be so. Technology is evolving all the time and new ways of collecting and analysing project data have recently become available. This webinar looks at the different solutions available which make the management, monitoring and analysis of your projects quick, easy and inexpensive. A case study will be introduced to demonstrate how technology is being used to collect data anywhere, using a variety of devices and then analysed and used in reports

The webinar will take place online, on June 27, 2012 at 12:00 PM Europe/London time
