The aim of the course “Social Entrepreneurship, Social Innovation and Sustainability” is to provide students with an approach to organizing and leading sustainable development through entrepreneurship and innovation, with a special emphasis on social entrepreneurship and social innovation. As the traditional lines blur between non-profit enterprises, public services and business, it is critical that students understand the opportunities and challenges in this new landscape, which can be seen as highly relevant in the context of sustainability. The course aims at developing entrepreneurial skills and thinking frames for students who will lead sustainable economic, social and environmental initiatives in their future professions.

The course focuses on entrepreneurship, innovation and their relationship to sustainability with a special emphasis on social entrepreneurship and social innocation and is structured in a theoretically oriented lecture series and a series of study visitis and guest lectures with practitioners from the field.

The accumulation of knowledge serves students in the writing of an academic essay connecting social entrepreneurship, social innovation with sustainability.

Finally, students explore their entrepreneurship and innovation skills in an applied sustainability project.
