As part of the Erasmus+ project Cowork4EU, the course "International Coworking and Entrepreneurial Management" will take place in the summer term in the form of a block seminar.

During the course, students work in international teams with other students from the partner universities both digitally and physically. The master seminar includes a trip to one of the partner universities. Travel expenses are partially funded through the EU grant with up to 296€.

Students will learn about the concepts, dynamics and practices of coworking and coworking spaces.  Furthermore, students develop their knowledge in entrepreneurship, innovation management and creative thinking by working on case studies that simulate building their own startup. Intercultural working is promoted through collaboration in international teams.

The course takes place in hybrid form. In the summer semester of 2024, students will participate in a trip to Paris to work with other international students. Only master's students are eligible for the seminar. The application phase for the course in the summer semester 2024 runs from December 7th, 2023 to January 14th, 2024.
