This topic introduces the EntreComp Framework, a simple structure that helps universities understand and strengthen entrepreneurial competences. It also includes a quick look at the Institutional Readiness Tool, which helps identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities for innovation within your institution.
Please watch the Topic 2 presentation below before answering the short questions.
Write 4–6 sentences responding to any ONE of the questions below. You may share this during the online session — no submission needed.
1. Understanding Competence
Which EntreComp competence resonated most with you or felt most relevant to your context?
2. Institutional Readiness
Where do you think your institution currently stands — at an early stage, developing, or more advanced?
3. Gaps & Opportunities
What is one gap or challenge your institution faces in supporting entrepreneurship education?
4. Priority Action
What is one small, realistic change your institution could make in the next 6 months?
This activity introduces you to the EntreComp Framework and helps you reflect on how ready your institution is to support entrepreneurial and innovation-oriented learning. The aim is to keep it simple and reflective, focusing on identifying strengths, gaps, and realistic next steps.
Please answer the short activity questions below and then download the Institutional Readiness Tool for a deeper exploration.
Relevance: Which EntreComp competence (creativity, spotting opportunities, working with others, taking initiative, etc.) feels most relevant to your institution right now, and why?
Current Position: Where do you think your institution currently stands in terms of entrepreneurship readiness (early stage, developing, or maturing)?
Gap: What is one gap or barrier you see in strengthening entrepreneurship education?
Opportunity: What is one practical action your institution could take in the next 6 months to support student or staff entrepreneurial learning?
This tool provides a simple way to map your institution’s entrepreneurship strengths and gaps using the EntreComp competence areas. It supports curriculum planning, programme improvement, and institutional development.
You do not need to complete the entire matrix for this microlearning unit — but the tool is available for those who wish to explore their institutional readiness more fully or use it for internal planning.
