A very important aspect of the ENCORE project is the Case Challenges that are part of WP5. Every partner university must organize a Business Case Challenge to have students undergo a realistic business entrepreneurship process that corresponds to the EKC. This is a great opportunity for students because together with an academic supervisor they can work on a real business case and gather some experience in consulting a company.
The partner universities have already established the academic jury for the competition and the students are already working on the cases they chose. From the 6 partners there will be 1 winning team and the 6 teams´ work will be published in the joint publication at the end of the project. Also, another aim is to provide a platform for the winning students to present their findings at a conference during autumn.
The first Case Challenge will be conducted on the 28th of April by GCI and on May 5th TU will hold its competition. The partners from Bhutan will organize the Case Challenges on-site between the 22nd and 27th of May. And finally, partners from Laos will prepare for their competitions at the beginning of summer, in June.
All cases seem very interesting, and we are looking forward to seeing all the presentations and having a discussion over the topics in person or online in the upcoming competitions. We wish the best of luck to all the students and see you at the first business case on the 28th of April at GCI!
