2ND COORDINATION MEETING IN UK

The 2nd coordination meeting of the Erasmus+ ICT ENTREPRENEUR project was held at the University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham, United Kingdom, on the 16th of July 2015. The ultimate aim of this project is to enhance the entrepreneurship levels for ICT students and graduates across Europe by offering a high-quality, pre-accelerator entrepreneurship programme. Thus the consortium of partners which is consisted by 7 organisations from 5 different EU countries is working very hard towards this goal. The meeting was attended by all the members of the ICT ENTREPRENEUR consortium.

During the meeting all the participants had the opportunity to discuss the progress made so far, the problems faced in the first 10 months of the project, and more importantly the consortium spent time to "construct" the skeleton of the ICT ENT training programme.

In more detail, at the beginning of the 2nd coordination meeting, project partners presented key findings from their national need’s analysis report, in which an extensive study on national initiatives and activities took place. Also they presented their main conclusions from visits and interviews implemented at local, national and Eur

opean level. For the purposes of ICT ENT project, the consortium visited in total approximately 48 organisations across 11 countries.

Project partners discussed in more detail the ICT ENTREPRENEUR Training Programme and emphasis was given on the learning units, the methodology, the training tools and the implementation of the whole programme.

GrantXpert provided all partners with guidelines on project and financial management. Also specific indications on the dissemination activities of ICT ENT project was given to all partners involved. Our aim is to enhance project awareness by using traditional and new Medias.

The 2nd coordination meeting was very fruitful for all partners involved, since all together laid the basis formulating the educational training package.
