Key recommandations
Among its recommendations, the report says that Poland should
- Build a resource base for entrepreneurship education and training, including platforms for good practice exchange and networks of entrepreneurship professors and entrepreneurs who can contribute to entrepreneurial learning.
- Increase the legitimacy of entrepreneurship as an academic field by funding research and organising Polish entrepreneurship conferences and exchange platforms to encourage academic staff to engage in the entrepreneurial agenda.
- Encourage the newly established Innovation Council to work with higher education institutions to define an entrepreneurial vision for the Polish higher education system and to oversee its implementation.
- Co-operate with the Ministry of Economic Development (and the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development) to strengthen the start-up support infrastructure using European Union Structural and Investment Funds.
- Develop a new international exchange programme for academic staff to build on the experiences of the Top 500 Innovators Programme, and strengthen animation of the existing network for past programme participants.
- Higher education institutions should appoint a senior manager with responsibility for the “third mission”, including innovation, entrepreneurship and building relationships with government and the business community.
