supervisors

)

• Typically in Twente region, the Netherlands or its direct

neighbouring countries.

• Internship is more than serving coffee and operate the copy machine. • Also: the elective is a deepening follow up on M6 (INN&ENT)

• Preliminary objective (to be further developed with you): get to know how a company or organization works in practice by working on an identified

problem within the innovation and entrepreneurship domain. • To achieve this, a framework is needed.

• Therefore the development stage includes the development of a common instrument such as a benchmark audit or an omnibus survey which can be done by all participating students during their individual internship (this

instrument can be complemented with questions specifically for your problem identification stage).

Q2 AND Q3: PREPARATION

(7)

• Hand in the following documents:

– A motivation letter that shows your motivation to do the internship and willingness to co-develop the module during Q3 and Q4;

– Study planning (including period of Internship: Q4 or summer);

– Preliminary idea on (type of) company/organization for your internship; – A resume;

– Grade list.

• Send these documents by email to:

[email protected]

• Before December 14 2015 noon.
