SAMPLE – a new face of academic entrepreneurship
A great deal has already been said about student entrepreneurship. Hundreds of publications, support programmes and initiatives have been created to encourage young people to start their own businesses. In recent years, the very understanding of what entrepreneurship is has also changed. Today, it is no longer only about creating start-ups or making a profit.
More and more often, we ask ourselves: how do we educate young people so that they can create solutions that respond to real social and environmental challenges? How do we develop entrepreneurship based on responsibility, cooperation and the courage to bring about positive change?
That is exactly why the SAMPLE project was created – a fresh look at academic entrepreneurship and an attempt to show it from a slightly different perspective. It brings new energy to the discussion about how to prepare students for a world that is changing faster than ever before.
SAMPLE is an international project carried out under the Erasmus+ (KA220-HED) programme from 01/10/2025 to 30/09/2027, in cooperation with partners from several European countries. It brings together the experience of universities, organisations and experts who are jointly seeking new ways to develop entrepreneurial competences among students.
The project will produce modern educational materials, guides for academic staff and digital tools to support the learning process. Particular attention will be given to issues related to sustainable development, innovation, creativity, teamwork and the responsible design of ventures that respond to the needs of the modern world.
For the GELISME Foundation, taking part in the SAMPLE project is of particular importance. For us, this is not just another international initiative. The project activities are based on the many years of research interests and experience of our Foundation’s members, related to entrepreneurship, social innovation, education and sustainable development. We believe that academic knowledge is most valuable when it translates into practical action and a real impact on the world around us.
With SAMPLE, we want to show students that entrepreneurship can have many faces. It can be a tool for social change. It can help build a more sustainable future. It can teach cooperation, responsibility and agency. And above all, it can give young people the courage to act and the conviction that their ideas truly matter.
We invite you to follow the SAMPLE project and to discover together what the entrepreneurship of tomorrow might look like.
