What is the expected impact?
Impact of BEPART means the effect which BEPART will finally have on the surrounding systems in a medium and long-term perspective. Impact is for us more than producing outputs (for example number of participants in BEPART-activities) and more than achieving our outcomes (for example improved attitudes towards entrepreneurship by target groups).
Impact criteria which BEPART is aiming at are for example to contribute for:
- Increased focus of the role and high potential of universities and colleges within regional development policies and their increased active involvement into regional development strategies.
- Improved institutionalization and performance of entrepreneurship training and education especially at colleges and universities. Improved benefits for students who attended such programmes.
- Public promotional programmes for entrepreneurship and regional development with increased awareness for encouraging experiments and innovations – and thereby encouraging empowerment.
- Development of entrepreneurship education and training as a field of growing professionalism and professional skill-building.
- Europeanization of entrepreneurship education and training within interregional and global cooperation.
- Intensified cooperation between academics, policy makers and practitioners from the business world towards better linkages and synergies between entrepreneurship promotion and regional development.
- Increased dynamics of entrepreneurship within and out of colleges and universities; cultivation of entrepreneurship and contributions to spreading entrepreneurial values.
- Higher return of investments into entrepreneurship-promotion, less waste of money by a more effective utilisation of scarce human and material resources.
- Growth contributions to a vivid Baltic Sea Area with subsequent cross-boarder and interregional activities.
