VISION

The Transform4Europe (T4EU) Joint Virtual Mobile Entrepreneurs Office offers a common space to promote the participation of entrepreneurs (Bachelor’s, Master’s and doctoral students within the T4EU Alliance) in initiatives promoted by the universities participating in the project such as entrepreneurial internships and volunteering opportunities, competitions and funding opportunities.

It unifies the strengths of each of them to offer a wide range of services that respond to entrepreneurs in the different stages of the consolidation of their projects.

Additionally, a dynamic communication system will be established where entrepreneurs may consult the experts designated by each of the universities.

MISSION

The T4EU Joint Virtual Mobile Entrepreneurs Office is established to be a tool to provide entrepreneurs with useful information to find options for participation in the initiatives promoted by the Alliance and support them during the entire process.

SERVICES

The experts appointed by each partner university serve as a reference within the T4EU Joint Virtual Mobile entrepreneurs office. They are in charge of:

  • solving doubts raised by entrepreneurs from other universities through the T4EU Joint Virtual Mobile Entrepreneurs Office;
  • keeping up-to-date information on programmes and calls included in the T4EU Joint Virtual Mobile Entrepreneurs Office catalogue.

PROGRAMMES IMPLEMENTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF SILESIA

  • Mentoring

Programme: “Which way to work?”

A series of meetings with graduates of the University of Silesia representing various fields (some of them started their own companies/businesses) The initiative’s goal is to show a professional perspective after graduating from a certain degree programme and encourage young people to set up their own businesses.

  • Networking

Meetings with employers

Meetings regarding companies themselves and the internal recruitment process. The initiative’s goal is to show how to handle contacts with an employer in the business sector and an opportunity to get an insight into the work organisation process in companies.

Job Fair

An opportunity to learn about companies from various economic sectors and fields. A way to develop the basics of entrepreneurship and shape an open mind.

  • Personal Development and Training

Training and workshop

The Career Office carries out:

– workshops and training sessions developing soft skills such as self-presentation, stress and time management, personal branding (during an academic year),

– workshops and training sessions referring to the topic of setting up and running one’s own business (often conducted by experts from the National Employment Office),

– training sessions on using new technologies in running a business (Agile, Prince, Excel, Design Thinking).

During the summer holidays, we organise the Career Development Academy, a series of training sessions dedicated to professional and self-development. The sessions are carried out by external entities once a week. They concern efficient communication, negotiations, leadership, and time management. The workshops last for several hours and are certified.

  • Training Concept Development

Incubator of Innovation 4.0

The aim of the project is to carry out a series of actions that will contribute to strengthening the cooperation between the scientific and business communities, preparation of commercialisation projects for research, intensification of technology portfolio management, and execution of pre-implementation works in order to commercialise them.

Project participants may only be employees of the University of Silesia along with research and development teams which consist of at least one person that is an employee of the University of Silesia if they are the authors of scientific research and development work that may be subject to commercialisation carried out by the University of Silesia.

Project participants may also be students or PhD students of the University of Silesia if they are authors of the results of scientific and development work that may be subject to commercialisation carried out by the University of Silesia.
