various figures coming out of mobile, asking with hand raised and on apartment building.

Coming up with creative solutions, inspiring others or showing perseverance. All entrepreneurial skills that everyone can put to good use. That doesn't mean everyone should become an entrepreneur. But it does mean that you look at the world in a creative and innovative way. Daring to do things just a little differently. These are skills that are becoming increasingly important. Also within education, research and our university as a whole.
