Lessons Learned
Before DEETECHTIVE, the EPF was not well organized regarding coaching students for entrepreneurship. There was some local actions but without a global coordination (entrepreneur student status, coaching,…) but no dedicated teaching units or workshop, seminar, … The EPF staff and students are now considering the entrepreneurship as a real possibility and not only an exception.
The school is now seen as active in the Deep Tech and entrepreneurship field.
- Issues with the multidisciplinary approach needed. The EPF is often working department per department.
- Issues with the timing, the phase 1 had new and more actions than the phase 2 whereas it has less working time. This needed to rush and sollicitate people in a hurry.
- Students have sometimes some issues to find time for doing extrascholar elements.
- Gathering staff which has no direct link with entrepreneurship
- First project of this style -> difficulties to understand some elements regarding action contents or outcomes
Challenge to do all the WP at the same time whereas the project presented a workflow based on a coherent timeline.
