First steps are taken towards creation of EEE Regional Alliances in Halle, Szeged, and Innsbruck in the leadership of University of Szeged (USZ), through the discussions initiated by the institution to define a clear strategy on how to involve regional stakeholders in the alliances, and clarify their roles in the entrepreneurship course design and delivery. 

EEE Project monthly briefing meeting was held via conference call on 23rd of January with the attendance of six project consortium representatives from the five partner institutions. The meeting led by Univations focused on the progress the partners have achieved with the preliminary goals defined in the Halle kick-off meeting: preparations on the establishment of regional alliances (IO1), meetings with the respective university leadership on the content and structure of the student entrepreneurship courses, and improvements in the project corporate design and dissemination tools.

The discussions around the establishment of EEE Regional Alliances included clear communication of the benefits with potential stakeholders who are invited to form the alliances, and identification of the roles and responsibilities they can take in the design and delivery of the entrepreneurship courses (IO3). Tentative timeline for the promotion activities (IO2), the course length, and methods for student recruitment for the courses were additional topics that received attention of the project partners.

The participants agreed on to share further progress in the upcoming briefing meeting that will be held in February. Finally, the meeting was concluded with the confirmation of the second partner meeting in Szeged, at USZ, on 11-12.04.2017.
