Actionable Entrepreneurship Education in a "Teachers’ Community of Practice" across 17 European Research Universities

Digitalisation is bringing computing professionals to higher and higher position of responsibility. Universities, however, have not fully answered to the increased demand in skills that these professionals need to have. In this panel, we present the work of a Teachers’ Community of Practice that is trying to fill this gap by teaching Innovation and Entrepreneurship to computer science students from 17 European universities belonging to a consortium called EIT Digital. The panel will replicate the Community of Practice approach, creating a space to share experiences, encouraging participants to start their own Teachers’ Community of Practices, and transparently discussing points of success and failure alike.
