| Riassunto: | Entrepreneurship education (EE) has become a major policy focus of world governments since the year 2000. Outside business schools, EE in Australian universities remains fragmented across faculties and disciplines. Existing subjects encourage creativity but do not teach the skills necessary to develop innovation into enterprises. There is an urgent need to devise integrated EE programs in the Australian context, to raise the entrepreneurial capacity of graduates and business. This is the final report from a project that implemented a university-wide, integrated, student-focused learning space - the QUT Innovation Space (QIS) - to instil an entrepreneurial mindset in students, capture student innovation and facilitate the development of new ventures. The QIS comprises parallel, interacting environments - physical and virtual - populated by relationships, learning materials, activities and events, and addresses the fact that EE is a learning-by-doing approach. The QIS model will provide a strategic change in EE in Australia, and exemplify an integrative and true trans-disciplinarity not otherwise afforded by implementation within a single course or faculty. |
