Founded in
1987, the European Forum for Entrepreneurship Research (EFER) fosters
and promotes research and teaching in the field of entrepreneurship at
institutions of higher education across Western and Eastern Europe.
European
universities must play a key role in promoting entrepreneurship and
innovation, helping students learn not only how to start, but also how
to grow, enterprises. Technical and scientific schools, in particular,
provide potential breeding grounds for high technology/high growth
companies or “gazelles”.
Entrepreneurship
education has grown significantly in Europe and strong
growth is expected to continue. However, more needs to be done,
particularly in:
Faculty training and development
Outreach to and engagement with
business leaders and entrepreneurs
