Short description of the project:

The IMPACT project translates the EU’s sustainable development goals into daily business practices. It develops new ways of putting stakeholders’ values into action and illustrates how sustainability challenges can unlock innovation.

The project unites innovation scholars and practitioners to improve the teaching and coaching of sustainability-oriented innovation and entrepreneurship in higher education institutions around Europe. More precisely, we will deliver better teaching materials, educational methods, as well as best practices for use by educators, coaches and facilitators.

The main project outputs are:

  • Cases of good practices
  • Facilitation methods: “Sustainable Innovation Practices Toolkit”
  • Methods for teaching and coaching sustainability-oriented innovation and entrepreneurship
