Akademia Przedsiębiorczości UŁ powraca w ŚTP!

We are celebrating the Global Entrepreneurship Week – an international project that has been organised since 2008 and already includes 170 countries. Its aim is to promote conscious development, an active attitude towards life and taking business initiatives. University of Lodz is also actively participating in this event – we are launching a new edition of the University of Lodz Academy of Entrepreneurship! Participation in our course is free of charge and no login is required. On behalf of the academy's creator, dr hab. Agnieszka Kurczewska, (University of Lodz Vice-Rector for External Relations), we encourage all students to give it a try!

Academy of Entrepreneurship in the University of Lodz Multiportal

For whom? 

Academy of Entrepreneurship of the University of Lodz is a unique initiative created for all those who are interested in this area of activity – they set up a business, already run a business or, having many doubts, are only just starting to plan it. The academy was originally created for the University of Lodz students; however, it is now open to everyone, regardless of age and interests.  

What will you learn?

The task of the academy is to inspire people to undertake economic activity, we debunk myths and stereotypes on the subject and provide reliable knowledge. Looking critically at the developing start-up culture, we try to capture those elements of entrepreneurship that are conducive to building social value and meet the requirements of business ethics. We are committed to promoting innovative and sustainable business models.  We promote productive and quality entrepreneurship. 

The academy will let you learn, among other things, that entrepreneurship is everywhere and helps to put ideas into practice. You will get to know the way of thinking and making decisions typical of entrepreneurs. You will learn how to evaluate your ideas using business tools. We will also talk about technology development, globalisation and their potential consequences for sustainable and ethical entrepreneurship.  

How does it work?

Academy of Entrepreneurship offers an online course for independent work.  It is up to the user when and how much time they devote to each module. The material in the form of videos and exercises has been divided into six thematic modules:

  •     Module 1 – Why Entrepreneurship?
  •     Module 2 – In Pursuit of an Idea 
  •     Module 3 – How do Entrepreneurs Think and Make Decisions?
  •     Module 4 – Working with an Idea for Your Own Business. Basic Business Tools 
  •     Module 5 – Business Leadership 
  •     Module 6 – Entrepreneurship of the Future. Quality and ethical entrepreneurship  

Each module includes some theory, interesting interviews with experienced practitioners, examples of dynamically developing start-ups and do-it-yourself exercises. 

Webinar "What to consider when setting up your own business?" 

In addition to the Academy of Entrepreneurship, we would also like to invite you to another event under the Global Entrepreneurship Week – a free of charge webinar "What to consider when setting up your own business?".
