On February 28, 2025, the first classes of the discipline “Innovative Entrepreneurship and Startup Project Management” took place. The course is implemented within the framework of the Jean Monnet Chair project “Strengthening EU Leadership and Capacity in Science and Innovation” (101175767—EU_STRENGHTS—ERASMUS-JMO-2024-HEI-TCH-RSCH), with the support of the European Union.
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of innovative entrepreneurship, its development in the EU and Ukraine, and the opportunities available for innovative businesses within the EU. It aims to highlight the prospects and potential for entrepreneurship development, emphasizing the EU as a hub for innovation and startups. The course materials showcase examples of successful startups in the EU, focusing on best practices, challenges, and lessons applicable across different cultural contexts. Students will acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to develop startups in alignment with EU practices while considering the Ukrainian business environment.
The course is designed for students of various specialties. The instructor for the group, which includes students specializing in International economic Relations, Public Management and Administration, Management, and other fields (16 students in total), is Yuliia Chortok, Ph.D., Associate Professor at the Department of Economics, Entrepreneurship, and Business Administration, and performer of the Jean Monnet Chair.
By the end of the course (which includes 16 hours of lectures and 16 hours of practical sessions), students will develop their own startup projects, drawing inspiration from the best EU startup experiences. These projects will be presented during a final pitching session.
We wish our students success in mastering the course materials, as well as inspiration and creativity in developing and implementing their startup ideas.
