Online Autumn Academy Cultural Entrepreneurship & Leadership

Erasmus University Rotterdam and Ljubljana School of Economics & Business cooperate in the first Autumn Academy Cultural Entrepreneurship & Leadership for advanced students (arts & culture, economics, business administration etc.) and professionals (artists, staff members of cultural organisations, independent workers) in European countries of transition, to be held online 12, 13, 19, 20 and 26, 27 November 2021. Lecturers and researchers from both universities with high-quality accreditations in the field will exchange knowledge and experience to empower a selection of 28 participants studying and working in the cultural sector in the former socialistic countries in Europe.
