In this workshop, the aim is to test, further develop and adopt a new educational practice focusing on <i>“<b>Developing futures thinking in entrepreneurship education</b></i>”. To remain hopeful in times of complex crises (Dodd et al., 2022) and to be able to act on these difficult challenges, it is necessary to cultivate the students’ ability to think about and enact the future. In this workshop we showcase and enable experimenting with a learning innovation that aims to engage students in futures thinking by relying on dimensions of futures consciousness (Ahvenharju, 2022): 1) <i>Time perspective</i> (understanding the value of long-term thinking), 2) <i>Agency beliefs</i> (future is the result of a complex web of interconnected individual actions; differentiation between issues that can and cannot be influenced), 3) <i>Openness to alternatives</i> (critical evaluation of established truths to discover unconventional solutions and alternative paths, tolerance for uncertainty regarding the future), 4) <i>Systems perception</i> (interconnectedness between human and natural systems, complex consequences of the decisions) and 5) <i>Concern for others</i> (well-being of others beyond ourselves, including the future generations). </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:1.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Workshop format</span></span></span></span></span></b></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:8.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">The workshop includes a brief introduction to futures thinking after which the participants are invited to experientially engage in student assignments focusing on futures in entrepreneurship education.

Or to double down on making a difference in the “real world”? With this PDW, we give you actionable advice and a tool to identify such contributions for your research. The RENT community is buzzing (already) with innovative and transformative entrepreneurship. At the same time, while crucial issues are addressed, the current research paradigms tend to adopt a stance of describing and interpreting phenomena. Most of the time, researchers find themselves as neutral observers and detached analysts. Hence, impactful researchers hold only one piece of the puzzle (“how things are”) in understanding and solving the real-world problems they encounter. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:8.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">As a </span></span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">complementary</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> paradigm, design science aims to go beyond describing and interpreting existing, taken-for-granted phenomena.
