Project SMARTUP is the result of a cooperation effort between higher education institutions, companies, the European Crowdfunding Network and business foundations from 9 EU countries and Stanford University.
The aim of the project is to develop innovative Startup Master & Advanced Reflective Tools through cooperation, based on the idea that students need entrepreneurial competences to succeed: both hard (about management and innovation) and soft and transversal (incl. those for self-awareness and resilience).
The SMARTUP learning model emphasises the design thinking process and social constructivist approach, where people are prompted to share their experiences, work together, and take responsibility for their own learning.
SMARTUP Master Programme also provides three mentoring models.
- one-to-many mentoring pool- peer-to-peer mentoring
- one-on-one mentoring
SMARTUP students will also have the opportunity of getting free access to our apps, which have been specifically developed as to address the most pressing issues faced by young entrepreneurs when their time comes to finally take the first step into the real business world.
The SMARTUP Business Game will allow students to run a business over a period of time and put into practice their understanding of how business variables work together during different periods of business growth.
