Cowork4EU

The EU-funded Erasmus+ project "Cowork4EU" aims to establish coworking principles and dynamics at in academic teaching and transfer. The four project partners from TU Dortmund University in Germany (JProf. Dr. Simon Hensellek), Seeburg Castle Private University in Austria (Ass.-Prof. Dr. Sandra Diller), Prague University of Economics and Business from the Czech Republic (Dr. Marko Orel), and Paris School of Business from France (Prof. Ignasi Capdevila). The project will pursue several project outcomes to better leverage the potential of coworking and coworking spaces at universities. For this purpose, a joint course focusing on coworking and the integration of coworking spaces in university teaching will be established. This will be piloted with students from the four partner universities and further developed through accompanying research. The curriculum will serve as a blueprint to support other faculty. In addition, the project team has set itself the goal of establishing an academic coworking network to further promote the exchange and mobility of students and researchers within Europe. The results of the project will be documented and published in the form of a best practice report.
