The Social Entrepreneurship Innovation Challenge 2022
28 September in Insights by joanna
You can change the world — if you just give yourself permission. The biggest barrier by far to having all the satisfaction in life of being an effective social entrepreneur is paying attention to all the many people who will tell you: “You can’t…” (Kickul & Lyons, 2016, p. xxiv)
This challenge is an opportunity for
entrepreneurs and universities to engage undergraduate students to show how they can create a positive ripple effect; a positive social, environmental, cultural and economic impact through social entrepreneurship.
The 2022 social entrepreneurship virtual innovation challenge is developed by the Research Synergy Foundation (RSF), Bandung Islamic University (UNISBA), UCB Education Program, Udayana University and Prokompas and Macquarie University PACE students in Australia. Together we invite entrepreneurs and students from various academic institutions to present their own ideas, concepts and solutions to social, cultural, environmental, and economic challenges in their communities.
