At the occasion of the World Environmental Education Congress from 29 June to 2 July 2015 in Gothenburg, the CASE project partners met on 3 July 2015 for a Steering Committee of the project.

Most of the consortium partners were present and discussed administrative issues, project progress so far, and the next steps to be taken in CASE. Special emphasis was given to the needs analysis undertaken in the past weeks including interviews with companies and universities on a wide spectrum of issues linked to sustainability driven entrepreneurship.

A strategic debate on the final output of the CASE project also took place and organisational and content issues of the upcoming project workshop in Vechta, Germany, were highlighted.

The Steering Committee was accompanied by the brilliant city of Gothenburg, excellent weather, sunshine until almost midnight, and the kind hospitality of Ekocentrum, one of the Swedish project partners.

CASE Workshops 1 and 2 in Vienna

June 8, 2015February 17, 2016 j.sedlak

Two project workshops were organised on 2 and 3 June 2015 at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. Most of the CASE project partners and several interested players from various entities came together to think about relevant topics of sustainable socio-economic development and how they can be taught. Furthermore, competencies for sustainability driven entrepreneurs were analysed and the issue in which way they can be promoted was reflected. The workshops took place in a friendly and constructive atmosphere and unveiled interesting aspects for all further steps in the CASE project. The results of the workshops complement the ongoing CASE needs analysis in whose context numerous companies and universities were interviewed in all participating countries. The detailed report of the workshops can be downloaded here.
