business ideas in a blended support programme, including an internship in an ACE2-EU partner institution.

The creation of an Entrepreneurship Network focussed on improving entre- and intrapreneurship knowledge and activities across the alliance. The Entrepreneurship Network will organise regular online and blended events and workshops with the help of its associated partners (in particular company and business associations) for the benefit of its members (Two blended editions, 3-days duration).
Coordinate the development and delivery in partnership with the ARCS of a structured Researcher Capacity Training Programme for research students and researchers to support their professional development and the development of the ACE2-EU RDI network (9 events, 4 days duration). The programme to be developed will have a particular focus on the European Competence Framework for Researchers and will enable our research students and researchers to better navigate and compete in an increasingly competitive academic sector and equip them with the knowledge and skills to facilitate their future career development.
