Business school awarded European grant
Nottingham Business School, part of Nottingham Trent University, has been awarded €40,600 (£33,700) to develop new training methods and materials. The funding will be used to support entrepreneurs across Europe.
As part of the European Commission’s Leonardo da Vinci Programme, €400,000 has been divided between 11 European partners from the UK, Austria, Germany, Spain and Italy.
Nottingham Business School received the largest share of the investment.
The funding is for the development of the Creative Trainer II project, which focuses on creating new material and methods to train professionals who will go on to support and educate entrepreneurs.
Nottingham Business School is the lead partner in developing the area of innovation management and new product portfolio introduction.
Dr Kostas Galanakis, lead academic for the project at Nottingham Business School, said: “The project will help entrepreneurs across the continent to receive the right support and training to escape the ‘death valley’, a common state where small firms cannot grow further.”
