This will enable universities, companies and other organizations to carry out profiling and monitoring of entrepreneurial competences (e.g. among students or employees). An essential conceptual basis for this is the Entrepreneurship Competence Framework, which was developed by the Joint Research Center of the European Commission.By assessing entrepreneurial competence profiles on the EICAA digital platform, learning activities or training opportunities can be used in a more targeted way to strengthen entrepreneurial thinking and action. The EICAA consortium is also developing suitable teaching and training materials to promote entrepreneurial competences. A selection of these materials - depending on the respective assessment result - will be automatically suggested to the users of the digital platform to improve upon specific entrepreneurial competence areas.The MCI EICAA Team is more than happy to answer any further questions:MCI | The Entrepreneurial School®Anita Zehrer: anita.zehrer@mci.eduDesiree Wieser: desiree.wieser@mci.eduGundula Glowka: gundula.glowka@mci.eduChristine Pirhofer: christine.pirhofer@mci.edu   Project logo EICAA. © EICAAEICAA websiteFamily Business Center endsearch-->
