Abstract

The area of interests is the development of a potentially new complementary industry-university component, which has been labelled ‘SuperWiseNet’ for the context of academic entrepreneurial programs. The SuperWiseNet is a network-based platform for interaction between students of entrepreneurship and an experience-enriched forum consisting of teachers, industry experts, entrepreneurs and specialty consultants. The interaction unfolds as a series of workshops facilitating the progression of the student teams’ four months project work. The students of concern are enrolled in the international Entrepreneurial Engineering Master’s Program [1] at Aalborg University, Denmark (120 ECTS credits).
The paper will describe and elaborate on the functioning of SuperWiseNet including a discussion of advantages for students, faculty, and industry/externals as well as some challenges with the concept.
