Transformational entrepreneurship days at the Leuphana Universtiy
21. September 2021
The Transformational Entrepreneurship Days hosted by the Leuphana University and co-branded by the European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB) was an online event which took place from the 21.09.2021 until the 23.09.2021. The aim of this event was to foster impact through empowering researchers, students and societal stakeholders and thus to support an actual transformation of society.
Each day of the event was headlined by a different topic dealing with the subject of transformational entrepreneurship from a unique perspective. Impulses were offered in form of Impact Development Workshops (IDWs) aimed at creating an environment for collaborative work and offering the opportunity to share ideas. The Participants of these workshops were therefore not seen as passive recipients, but rather were given an active role in order to ensure an insightful learning process. The headlining topics were entrepreneurhship research (day 1), entrepreneurship education (day 2), and entrepreneurship practice/ transfer (day 3).
On the 21.09.2021 Prof. Jana-Michaela Timm conducted a workshop together with her colleague Antonieta Alcorta de Bronstein (University of Vechta) dealing with the topic of "Transformational Sustainability Entrepreneurship: Envisioning a new Concept to tackle the Societal Challenges of our Times". With there being a wide diversity of entrepreneurship concepts in the literature, each with different goals, the overall aim of the workshop was to discuss the different perceptions of entrepreneurship with the participants utilizing their unique views and perspectives on the role of entrepreneurship for the future. Considering the current societal challenges we are facing there is an urgent need for a concept that embraces not only the value of sustainability but also the innovative character of transformation. Thus the underlying purpose of the workshop was to envision a new understanding of entrepreneurship: transformational sustainability entrepreneurship.
