SusEntreJMD, a preparatory project of the new master has finished
From February to November 2018 a project „Sustainability-driven Entrepreneurship – Preparation of new Joint Master Degree study programme (SusEntreJMD)“ has been realized by the Department of Environmental Studies. The project was supported by The South Moravian Region within the 2nd call Smart Accelerator – 4th activity Assistance. What has the project brought?
In the last year, the Department of Environmental Studies was intensively preparing the new Joint Master Degree programme. We have successfully started the accreditation process, which will continue in spring 2019.
During the year, the full consortium of the future study programme met 2 times, in April in Barcelona and in November in Vienna. We succeeded to prepare all documents for accreditation, and the curriculum of the programme. Together with the coordinator from Vienna, Dr. Christian Rammel, we met mayor of Brno and received a patronage for the programme from Brno city.
One of the key tasks of the last year was to find a fourth partner of our programme. After the university from Amsterdam could not continue the process with us, we would not hope for better compensation. Copenhagen Business School, Danish public university from Copenhagen is one of the top business schools in Europe.
