On 25 September, DIGIFABS joined the START-DSP Online Showcase Event, bringing together around 35 educators from higher education institutions and vocational education and training to exchange results and resources from European projects.
Organised by the START-DSP project, the event created a space for projects working across entrepreneurship education, digitalisation and sustainability to share practical resources and explore opportunities for future collaboration. This closely reflects START-DSP’s wider aim of strengthening entrepreneurship education through digital, sustainable and responsible approaches.
Following the introduction, participants moved into two parallel breakout sessions, with around ten EU-funded projects presented in each track. Each project had just four minutes to introduce one key result, resource or tool and demonstrate its relevance for entrepreneurship education. Participants also introduced their affiliated institutions, creating an opportunity to learn more about the organisations behind the projects and identify potential partners and connections for future European projects.
DIGIFABS, represented by the Science-to-Business Marketing Research Centre from our lead partner FH Münster, was presented to 16 participants in its breakout session, with the presentation focusing particularly on the upcoming DIGIFABS Learning Hub (the MOOC). Our Learning Hub brings together project knowledge and training in flexible, self-paced learning modules designed for students, educators and SMEs.
The event provided an opportunity not only to share DIGIFABS results with educators from across Europe, but also to discover resources and approaches developed by other EU-funded initiatives. Just as importantly, the exchange offered a chance to network with other institutions, establish new connections and explore potential collaborations for future projects.
The exchange does not end with the showcase event. Participating projects and their resources are intended to be included in the START-DSP Knowledge Hub, creating a shared space where educators and other stakeholders can discover and access results from related European initiatives.
For DIGIFABS, this provides another opportunity to make its resources visible beyond the project consortium and connect them with a wider European community working at the intersection of education, entrepreneurship, digital transformation and sustainability.
