Description: This work package aims to:
1) design the curriculum which includes the design of the structure of the entrepreneurship and innovation technology professional training and the selection of the courses to be offered. Then, define course objectives, and learning outcomes based on the output from WP1 and the result of a systematic review for the current standards, recommendations, and curricula.
