Support Services for Student Business Challenges in Sustainable Entrepreneurship 

As student-business challenges in sustainable entrepreneurship go international, organisational efforts and transaction costs needed for their implementation may increase. To better deal with this, some actors such as companies, initiatives and networks have developed specialised support services for designing, implementing, and evaluating challenge-driven student-business collaboration.

The brochure “Support Services for Student-Business Collaboration: Good Practice Collection of Support Services for Challenge-Based Student-Business Collaboration in Sustainable Entrepreneurship” synthesises the results of our research on these actors and their intermediary activities and presents eight good-practice examples of support offered for university students, teaching personnel and business partners. The good-practice examples aim to inspire stakeholders involved or looking to get involved in challenge-driven student-business collaboration formats, providing information on strategies and approaches to facilitate effective cooperation and communication between students, academic staff, and businesses. They also aim to provide new insights into how to successfully integrate international virtual student-business challenge formats in higher education institutions around the world.
