A specialized course “Train the Trainers” for entrepreneurship professors will be organized in Cambridge within the framework of the Venture Camp (27.–28.11.2015.) to enhance entrepreneurship education practice and methodology. Professors from Latvian universities are invited to take part in this course. Professors are also invited to participate in the Venture Camp as mentors and apply the newly-acquired methods from the course by working with students.
The initiator of the Venture Camp is professor D.B.A., F.R.S.A. Alan Barrell (www.alanbarrell.com), who has spent almost 30 years in senior executive positions in technology-based industries, and has international experience as a professor working in several leading universities in the UK, Finland and China. The aim of Alan Barrell is to promote development of entrepreneurship in Europe and Asia, by creating opportunities for international cooperation among educational institutions, entrepreneurs and organisations working in this area. To expand the perspectives of prosperous entrepreneurs from Latvia, Riga-Cambridge Venture Camp is being organised, which we wish to develop as an annual event.
