The project was carried through within five basic working packages of part-activities:

Component 1: Management and co-ordination cared for smooth processes, co-ordinated decisions and basic management.

Component 2: Exchange of experience, information and research findings amongst the network partners, with a focus on regional development, regional innovation systems and regional entrepreneurship promotion. The idea was to facilitate the understanding and application of entrepreneurship promotion within regions, of different and new types of promotional activities and specific methods, measures and tools. Activities combine informal exchange, meetings, conferences and research. The resarch results have been published as a book "Cultivating Entrepreneurial Regions" in June 2007 (electronically as a pdf also available in our download-area).

Component 3 targeted on broadening the findings of BEPART, for example on the dissemination of new and effective approaches of entrepreneurship promotion and their conditions which could be identified within components 2 and 4. Here, BEPART focused on regional impact of its activities and the involvements of relevant within regional systems for innovation and entrepreneurship. Two larger BEPART conferences (2005 and 2006) were a major activity. One of the outputs are the 10 BEPART propositions 'Towards Entrepreneurial Regions'.

Component 4: Here, ‘action learning and reflection groups - ARGs’ were laboratories to develop and test new ways to learn and train entrepreneurial competences. Two ARGs worked on: (1) Training of Trainers and Multipliers in Entrepreneurship Education and Training”, (2) “Good Practice & Evaluation in Entrepreneurship Education and Training”.
One of the final project results is a Case book "Teaching Entrepreneurship", with 11 cases for education and training, available at Springer/ Physica publishers.

Component 5: Learning and high quality within the BEPART project activities. The quality improvement was done for example by defining evaluation-criteria, safeguarding self-assessment, organising internal monitoring and feed-back, coaching and reporting. An international symposium in March 2007 focused 'challenges of network learning and evaluation' in the field of entrepreneurship promotion. Results have been summarized as a documentation (visit our download-area). A scientific publication in cooperation with University of Tampere/ Helsinki School of Economics is available since 2008. A book overview is also available in download-area as well.
