Project Summary

The project Placement Opportunities With Entrepreneurial Reach (POWER) will facilitate the establishment of a coherent, sustainable and EU-wide placement ecosystem, which is primarily focussed on high impact placements with evident entrepreneurial elements. This will be achieved by the purposeful cooperation of 5 universities and 4 incubators who together will create modern, targeted and user-friendly ICT tools as well as provide comprehensive guidance and support material (via blended trainings, webinars and guidelines) both for the academic and business worlds in order to better equip them to support highly-skilled current and future entrepreneurs.The project POWER intends to develop tools and accompanying resources to build a highly attractive and efficient placement management and facilitation ecosystem, thus ensuring that it is beneficial:- For current MA students and future graduates across the EU to improve their entrepreneurial competences, their business planning and employability skills; – For the start-up community and incubators to ensure access to a pool of local as well as international talents for further growth of their start-up businesses;- For universities to modernise and digitalise placement management tools, therefore increasing the accessibility and visibility of placement opportunities for their students not only locally, but also across the EU.The ICT infrastructure as well as the accompanying material will allow universities, incubators and students to connect at a local and cross-border level, thus considerably increasing the opportunities of powerful entrepreneurial placement experience for students and ensuring the right match of relevant skills and competences of students for further growth of the start-up community.The 10 consortium members have set ambitious goals that will be achieved in close cooperation with over 50 associate partners, including universities, EU-wide networks and incubators.
