Starting the international interdisciplinary inter-university doctoral study ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATIVENESS in 2010 was stimulated by the need for creation of competitive knowledge necessary for strengthening the proactive and innovative capacity of individuals and society in facing and managing changes. Study is the result of the TEMPUS Joint European Project International Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies (CD_JEP-41014-2006), which was realized by Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek, Croatia; University of Turku, Finland; University of Maribor, Slovenia; University of Klagenfurt, Austria and Durham University, United Kingdom in the 2007-2009 period.

The primary goal of the doctoral program ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATIVENESS is building the capacity for researching the phenomenon of entrepreneurship. Besides it, building educational capacity at all levels of education for entrepreneurship competences requires creating a critical mass of educators capable to work across campus, across curricula at different educational levels, from primary to tertiary, and the doctoral program is promoting such approach.

Our values:

• Questioning everything, everyone

• Be tolerant to different opinions, but challenge them

• Learning from each other’s experience

• Sharing (knowledge, contacts)

• Developing a researching and learning community (honest, open).
