Abstract
Deliverable D5.3, ‘Report on the development results of the pilot actions,’ aims to monitor the pilot actions carried on by the partners to test the entrepreneurship courses proposed during the project. The pilots consisted on the collaborative development of entrepreneurship projects, using the ‘learning by doing’ methodology and materials developed in WP3, and were implemented by using the customized social network platform and collaborative work tools developed in WP4. The evaluation of the pilot actions was carried out using surveys directed towards the students of the courses, and technical staff. As two pilot actions were organized, two surveys were distributed: one to the students of the first demonstration action (July 2022) and one to the students of the second action (January 2023). In the case of technical staff one survey was distributed at the end of the second pilot. The results show that the course improved between the first and the second pilot. However, there are still some issues to address. Some students find it difficult to compaginated the course with their PhD duties. The partners tested the possibility of designing shorter seminars that might be easier for the students to fit in their schedules. As students’ satisfaction with the seminars was high, this might be a possibility for future courses at the PhD level
