SELF PROJECT PROMOTES ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN YOUNG PEOPLE IN HIGHER EDUCATION
On the 8th of November 2024, the researcher Ana Torres (INESC TEC, ISCA-UA) was interviewed by the programme “90 seconds of science” of the national radio station Antena 1 (Portugal), as a local coordinator at the University of Aveiro of the Erasmus+ SELF project – Solo-entrepreneurship in Postpandemic Europe, within the framework of k-action – 2 KA220-HED – Cooperation partnerships in higher education. The project is led by the University of Malaga (Spain), with the University of Aveiro among the partners of 7 participating organizations from 5 different countries (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Slovakia).
In the interview, the researcher disclosed that the SELF project is an initiative that aims to develop entrepreneurship in young people in higher education, as well as promote innovation and initiative among young adults in transition to the labor market. In this sense, the SELF project’s mission is to promote the individual capacities of young people in higher education in order to better prepare them to integrate the job market, based on the new challenges and employment paradigms created in post-pandemic Europe.
This project also aims to help young people overcome the fragmentation of the job market that currently exists in Europe, providing them with skills and digital tools that allow them to work remotely anywhere in the world.
In this sense, this project offers training through e-learning programs, as well as the creation of a platform called “SELF Digital Warehouse”, where educational tools and resources will be provided and where the results of the project will also be disseminated.
The SELF project – Solo-entrepreneurship in Post-pandemic Europe is funded by the Erasmus+ programme.
