Development of the entrepreneurial spirit among students of the University of Limoges

The University of Limoges wishes to consolidate, through the recruitment of two mentors Esprit d'Entreprendre, the rooting and development of the spirit of entrepreneurship within its community, by deploying a plan of awareness, support and accompaniment to student entrepreneurship. The establishment has a strong potential for technological and social innovation, and the creation of economic activities. As a committed territorial actor, it wishes to play an active role and mobilise this potential in the economic development of its territory, and more particularly in that of the sectors included in the S3 of the N.A. Region. The University of Limoges project wishes to support the momentum begun over the past four years by deploying a plan structured around two main axes: Anchor and develop the entrepreneurial culture within the institution through an increased effort of information and awareness of students. This aspect of the UL project will result in systematic information work during the back-to-school days and, in a more sustainable way, in the implementation in training models of modules to raise awareness of the spirit of entrepreneurship, as well as in the organization of events around the theme of entrepreneurship and territorial issues to which the initiatives carried out by students can respond. Strengthen the support of students enrolled in an entrepreneurial approach, by a personalized follow-up adapted to the degree of maturity of their projects. This reinforcement of support aims to increase the number of projects completed, likely to integrate an incubator of the territory, in particular the academic incubator of the AVRUL, and to lead to the creation of economic activity. This development axis will involve a significant increase in follow-up meetings but also the organization of acceleration seminars. The University of Limoges will be attentive to ensuring that its project meets the ambition of developing a "smarter, greener, more connected, more social Europe closer to citizens". In this context, it will ensure that the actions undertaken are directed towards priority target audiences because of the obstacles and obstacles they may encounter: women (under-represented among student entrepreneurs); students with disabilities or who, because of their origins (social, geographical) renounce to engage in an entrepreneurial approach. The University of Limoges will also ensure that the projects carried out by its students respect the major ecological challenges (climate change, biodiversity, resources, health risks) Expected results (per year): Awareness-raising students: 7000 (3-year target: 18 000) Accompanied projects: 90; +10% per year Events organised: 15 PhD students with awareness: 560
