Scaling social, scientific, and technological entrepreneurship skills: designing the OpenEdR4C platform

Abstract

The development of entrepreneurship skills in higher education is necessary to train citizens to identify opportunities and solve problems in an increasingly complex society. However, training at the university is not enough, so experiences must be designed that help students strengthen social, scientific and technological entrepreneurship skills through a hinge competence: complex thinking. This paper shows a proposal for the design of a web platform through a project called OpenEdR4C that imbricates complex thinking-entrepreneurship and whose purpose is to contribute to the training of students and lifelong learners with skills and competencies necessary to face the challenges of today’s world and develop their potential as entrepreneurs and committed and innovative citizens. The description of the OpenEdR4C project, its objectives, stages, as well as the first pre-prototype that will become a learning platform is presented.
