International Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Society
« International Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Society » (IEIS) programme focuses on entrepreneurship and its transformational abilities, a key theme for the University and iaelyon School of Management. It offers a specific course to a class of excellence and enables even closer links between bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, doctorates and research teams, in order to create a real synergy for excellence and the common good.
This specific programme aims to train researchers in entrepreneurship working on an innovative, international project with societal impact (climate, health, biodiversity, greencity, smartcity, etc.).
Students in the graduate school have the opportunity to develop the entrepreneurial skills that are essential to lead innovative and societal projects. At the same time, high-level researchers with the ability to federate and act in complex and international situations to develop ambitious entrepreneurial projects have the opportunity to grow.
Each student receives specific support from experienced researchers and mentors. Discussion sessions between undergraduate, graduate and PhD students are organised to foster collaboration on projects. A small group of students is given priority, but with very high added value and targeted, solid support.
