Structure of the Baltic Entrepreneurship Training
The BEPART network consists of mostly university-based competence centres or regional focal points of entrepreneurship promotion with strong links to the surrounding business community as well as labour market, economic and education policy makers. Unified by their bridging functions and very similar problem perceptions, the organisations involved decided to invest in experience exchange and cooperation as a way towards faster progress on the local level. It was therefore planned by BEPART to analyse and compare the role of entrepreneurship promotion in regional develoment strategies, collect available experience and discuss the way forward with politicians and the business community. In addition, trainers and lecturers active in entrepreneurship education within partner institutions and connected regional networks come together in interregional/-national action-learning & reflection groups that prepare, design and (as far as possible also) implement new ways to promote entrepreneurial thinking and behaviour.The University of Rostock serves as the ‘Lead partner’ of the network. Strategic decisions are taken during half-yearly meetings of the steering committee. The Project Coordinator is employed by the Lead Partner but is responsible to the Steering Group.
