Researching Student Entrepreneurship: Bridging Classroom Learning and Real-World Impact

The aim of the project

The primary aim of this research project is to explore the challenges, advantages, and developmental needs of student entrepreneurs who combine academic studies with real-life business development activities. This study is part of a larger effort to build a consortium of European and Singaporean universities—universities that actively promote student entrepreneurship through at least one of their programs—in preparation for a future Horizon R&D funding application.

By examining the motivations, expectations, and experiences of student entrepreneurs, as well as the infrastructure and methodologies universities provide to support these activities, the research seeks to identify key areas for future development. These insights will enable the consortium to design targeted initiatives and strategies that address the identified needs, laying the groundwork for a robust and impactful Horizon project proposal.
