Start of the Project „Cowork4EU: Coworking Best Practices for European Universities“
In the EU-funded Erasmus+ project "Cowork4EU", the Junior Professorship for Entrepreneurship and Digitalization of TU Dortmund University together with international partners from the Private University Schloss Seeburg in Austria (Prof. Dr. Christoph Stöckmann), Paris School of Business in France (Assoc. Prof. Ignasi Capdevila, PhD) and Prague University of Economics and Business in the Czech Republic (Ass. Prof. Marko Orel, PhD) are researching best practices for the use of coworking in the university environment.
During the course of the project, several project outcomes will be pursued to better exploit the potential of coworking and coworking spaces at universities. To achieve this, a joint course focusing on coworking and the integration of coworking spaces in university teaching will be established. This will be piloted with students from the four partner universities and further developed through accompanying research. The curriculum will serve as a blueprint to inspire other lecturers. In addition, the project team has set itself the goal of establishing an academic coworking network to further promote the exchange and mobility of students and researchers within Europe. The results of the project will be documented and published in the form of a best practice report.
The project duration is 36 months from March 2022 to February 2025.
