Study on the development of entrepreneurial culture in the university environment

Abstract

Entrepreneurial training of human resources is valued and spread in various European countries, as a premise of economic and social development. In May 2009, the Council of Europe established 4 favorable pillars for the organizational development at European level, and implicitly for the development of Europe's capacity to enter the international competition. Thus, it was highlighted that it is essential for all citizens to acquire transversal skills, such as: digital skills, learning to learn strategies, the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, and cultural awareness. Numerous studies are identified that highlight statistical data on European and Romanian entrepreneurship, and which contextualize the importance of taking certain measures to develop entrepreneurial thinking and increase the number of entrepreneurs, which will lead to improving the economic level.Consequently, the implementation of entrepreneurship education programs is seen as a means of developing the entrepreneurial skills of the human resources. In carrying out these programs, the European Commission supports the promotion of entrepreneurship education at all levels of schooling, from primary education to university education. The present study analyses the perception of academics regarding the importance of professional development while expanding those teaching skills and competences which are considered necessary for the entrepreneurship education.
