In spring 2022 Partnership organised survey about sustainable entrepreneurship. 224 students and teachers from 3 partner Universities from Latvia, Finland and Germany took part in the survey about sustainable entrepreneurship.

Results show the tendency that students and teachers in general have some information about sustainability, but when it comes to more deeper knowledge, the numbers are decreasing. More about the results you can read HERE.
