SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN LIFE SCIENCES
At many Life Science universities the development of entrepreneurial competencies is currently not well integrated into the mainstream curriculum at the Bachelor and Master levels. The design of curricular interventions, teachers’ pedagogical methods and assessment criteria for the delivery of sustainable entrepreneurial teaching are underdeveloped.
As a result a significant latent potential of students’ entrepreneurial innate skills remains untapped. That is why INTRINSIC aims a the systematic integration of Sustainable Entrepreneurship Education in Life Science curricula.

PROJECT GOAL
Supporting the development of the entrepreneurial potential of students is of special relevance to Life Science Universities whose priorities are for a “smart, sustainable and inclusive” development and utilisation of bio-renewable resources, the sustainable management of the natural resources, the need for food and nutritional security and safety, the enhancement of the economic viability of the food and non-food value chains, and the reduction of poverty – all necessary efforts in order to achieve the delivery of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
Therefore INTRINSIC aims to empower Life Science University teachers to develop their students' Sustainable Entrepreneurship Competencies so as to prepare their graduates to be being effective entrepreneurs and leaders to address the challenges of Europe`s future sustainable prosperity.

PROJECT OUTPUT
INTRINSIC will deliver five innovative intellectual outputs (O1 to O5) see also RESOURCES.
