Entrepreneurship Education: A road to success Objectives of the study The study had the following three objectives: 1. To identify examples of measuring the impact of entrepreneurship education on micro (individual, institutional) and macro (society and economy) levels through: – Systematic country research in all 28 EU-Member States plus 15 Non- EU-countries (literature research plus interviews); and – Interviews with high-level experts and academics.15 2. To prepare case studies that further examine how different types of initiatives have delivered different types of impact, and show how this has been achieved.16 3. To present an overview of the key findings. 1.6 This report This report is the final report to this study. It presents the key findings of the research in three main sections; each section presenting evidence for impacts related to a specific type of input: Impact of national and regional entrepreneurship education strategies (Section 3). Impact of institutional changes by prioritising entrepreneurship education (Section 4). Impact of classes; courses and modules of entrepreneurship education (Section 5). Additionally, Section 2 outlines the means through which it is anticipated that entrepreneurial education can generate impacts. Section 6 presents key trends and observations regarding the methodologies used for measuring impact of entrepreneurship education. A final section, based on the evidence of impact collected, presents key lessons learnt for maximising the impact of entrepreneurship education (Section 7). Annex 1 explains the approach to conducting the research. Annex 2 provides background information to those cases providing evidence of the impact of individual entrepreneurship education measures and initiatives. Annex 3 presents a list of literature and sources used. 15 More information about the method is provided in Annex 1. 16 The full set of case studies is available as a separate document. 16
