UN Sustainable Development Goal #4

We believe that entrepreneurship supports quality of education. As such, we help students become innovative professionals with a high degree of knowledge, coupled with a strong personal engagement and value based practice.

How we work

  • We follow three research tracks:

    • Entrepreneurial and innovative didactics within VIA’s educational programmes and courses
    • Entrepreneurial and innovative professional didactics and teaching practice in primary and lower secondary school and youth educations
    • Entrepreneurial and innovative marks on the various professional practices within VIA’s fields of education
  • Our aim is to help develop innovative and entrepreneurial professionals for public and private practice. We do so by inspiring and promoting VIA students’ capacity for value-creation and sustainable ways of solving challenges in the professions and society. This requires professional creativity and powers of imagination.

    Our research programme is particularly focused on the UN sustainable development goal #4: Quality in education. We share our knowledge nationally and internationally.
