Absence of a clear mission statement and a strategy
TU Ilmenau recently created a mission statement for entrepreneurship education for a project
proposal. However, it is yet to be fully developed, supported and communicated. Creating a clear and
shared vision of the role of entrepreneurship education would prove valuable for future development.
A written strategy that has specific goals and strategic indicators to measure entrepreneurship
outcomes and effectiveness would greatly benefit the University's efforts. In this strategy there is a
need to develop more interdisciplinary course offerings and to build further partnerships between
Faculties. While professors from different Faculties are involved in the certificate course there are
other opportunities yet to be realised.
