Employability & Entrepreneurship - Conferência Internacional

Presentation

“I am the size of what I see, not the size of my height.”
Fernando Pessoa

The International Conference “Employability & Entrepreneurship” provides the opportunity to discuss current issues in Education:

- To find new ways of developing an Education for entrepreneurship,
- To strengthen the cooperation University - Enterprise, and
- To promote the graduates’ employability are some of the questions for debate.

Employability and entrepreneurship are challenging areas, not only for the universities, but also for secondary and vocational schools. Therefore, the conference is organised so to include these different educational levels. Moreover, there will be a small exhibition of projects developed either in the secondary schools or at the University’s business incubator centres. This conference also aims to be considered an example of good practices in the way it approaches the labour market. Consequently, while the conference is held, all the supporting services and the catering will be guaranteed by pupils from secondary and vocational schools.

The conference will also be the forum to present the results of the European project financed by the Erasmus Programme - Modernisation of Higher Education, called Employability and Entrepreneurship: Tuning Universities & Enterprises (E²=T:U&SME).
