7. The SEED consortium and the project results

The international consortium working on SEED: Sustainable Entrepreneurship in EDucation (project nº 2022-1-PL01-KA220-HED-000088765) joins the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów (UITM, Poland), Wirtualis Sp. z o.o (Poland), Reykjavík University Center for Research on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (RUCRIE, Iceland), Kazimieras Simonavičius University (KSU, Lithuania), and Guarda Polytechnic University (IPG, Portugal).

The SEED project coordinators at UITM have developed an online platform to gamify sustainable entrepreneurship for university students with Wirtualis, a private firm offering bespoke web development, innovative e-learning solutions, and immersive business simulations tailored to educational and corporate needs. Simultaneous materials development that incorporates a design thinking toolkit of strategies and techniques is the collaboration of RUCRIE − creating the ten-week course on Entrepreneurship for a Sustainable Future, IPG − building the companion SEED Guide, Using Design Thinking for Sustainability Challenges, and KSU − transforming these components into digital content.

The collection of materials is available as open educational resources (OER) for any teachers interested in a design thinking approach to sustainability and entrepreneurship.
