Green Enterprising and Innovation as a Component of the Environmental Management Studies
Welcome to the WEBSITE of the Swedish-Russian-Latvian Network
About the Project:
The main purpose of the current project is to present an alternative broader view of green entrepreneurship as market driven solutions to environmental challenges and to prepare for the development of a new course on Green enterprising.
The project aim is proposed at the Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology (Project leader: Dr. Peter Schlyter, Senior Lecturer) in order to provide a platform for broadening the perspective of the educational programs in Environmental Management now offered at the cooperating universities in Sweden, Russia and Latvia by developing and including environmental entrepreneurial perspectives. This means that the programs would be more cross disciplinary, bringing in social science views, and practise oriented by creating links to Swedish, Russian and Latvian companies in the field of environmental technology or innovation.
Project partners:
The objectives of the project are:
To study existing programs/courses aimed at Environmental Entrepreneurship in other countries for the development of future course modules to be included in Environmental Management programs at our partner institutions.
To help universities find, study and link to relevant environmentally oriented companies in the respective countries, via study visits and case study interviews.
To study, comparatively in our network, the case studies of “best practise” for green enterprising, keeping in mind the importance of the cultural perspective on entrepreneurship in general and green enterprising in particular.
To develop a pilot training program focused on Green Enterprising.
To use and further develop the network for exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of environmental studies.
the Project is financed by Swedish Institute
