he deadline for Early Bird applications will be April 30, 2013. The regular deadline will be May 31, 2013 (GMT -12).
The Idea:
The vision of the Global Entrepreneurship Summer School is based on the claim “Billion Dollar Projects to Foster Societal Change”.
We want to encourage and connect outstanding students from all over the
world to challenge society’s problems by entrepreneurial means. We want
the students to think big and contribute to sustainable change in the
dimension of billion. The Global Entrepreneurship Summer School is a
collaborative project of the four leading university-based
Entrepreneurship Centers in Munich – that’s why we believe in the power
of entrepreneurial thinking for a better und sustainable future.
During the Summer School the student teams develop ideas that have
both a sustainable impact for society and a self-sustaining, profitable
business model. The students learn about entrepreneurship, develop their
own sustainable business ideas and build a long-lasting network of
international excellent and entrepreneurial students. The Global
Entrepreneurship Summer Schools fosters the important role of education,
entrepreneurship and networking for a sustainable development.
Curriculum:
During the Summer School 2012 35 students will work in international
and interdisciplinary teams to develop business ideas addressing
challenges concerning the topic “People on our Planet”. The first of the
eight days program will allow the students to get to know each other,
build teams and start brainstorming about innovative ideas.
During the week each team will establish a business plan for its
individual project. We have developed a set of lectures and assignments
to structure the project work and provide complementary knowledge – e.g.
of business planning or topic-specific issues. In addition to that we
will train presentation and teambuilding skills. The lectures will be
held by renowned entrepreneurs as well as by experts from science,
industry and politics. Throughout the course each team will be
accompanied by coaches who will provide feedback and assistance on the
specific project, its business plan and technical questions.
As a final task the teams are expected to explain their project to a
selected audience of investors, entrepreneurs and educators. They will
conclude their results in form of an 10 minutes Elevator Pitch in front
of more than 200 guests and afterwards enjoy a huge evening celebration.
The students will receive certificates of participation and, when appropriate, certificates for outstanding achievement.
