The goal of this project is to examine, explain and discuss the behaviour and intentions of students in their decision to start entrepreneurial activities and to found an enterprise. This report has been written as part of an international research project − called “International Survey on Collegiate Entrepreneurship” (ISCE) − which is investigating Academic Entrepreneurship. The project is coordinated on an international level by the Swiss Research Institute of Small Business and Entrepreneurship at the University of St. Gallen (KMU-HSG) together with the KfW Endowed Chair for Entrepreneurship at the European Business School (EBS). The project is coordinated on
a national level by the Centre of Entrepreneurship at Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School. We are very thankful to the participating universities/colleges in Belgium, namely Ghent University, the University of Antwerp, EHSAL, Université de Liège and FUNDP Namur. Without the concerted efforts of these universities/colleges and their representatives, the project would not have been realized to the current level.
We hope that this project will provide students, authorities, professors, teachers and service providers with a wealth of ideas, impulses and motivations to help develop a real entrepreneurial spirit amongst academics.
