TII's UNISPIN Special Interest Section focusing on academic entrepreneurship and spin-off development is holding its winter workshop on 20-21 February 2006 in Salzburg on the theme of "Stimulating and Teaching Academic Entrepreneurship: the Role of the Entrepreneurial University".

Coinciding with the Austrian presidency of the European Union and the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart, the UNISPIN Winter Workshop will take place on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 February in the Austrian city of Salzburg. Under the title of “Stimulating and Teaching Academic Entrepreneurship: the Role of the Entrepreneurial University”, the workshop includes half-day sessions on

- the Entrepreneurial University and its Role in the Knowledge-based Region
- Entrepreneurial Programmes for Students
- Promoting Female Entrepreneurship
- Stimulating Entrepreneurship among Researchers.

Invited presenters are

The UNISPIN Winter Workshop offers all those working in the field of encouraging and teaching entrepreneurship in academic circles – both practitioners and policy makers – to share experience and learn about state-of-the-art approaches and methods. The workshop will therefore be of benefit to academic spin-off programme managers, entrepreneurship course developers, staff of management schools and institutes of entrepreneurship, staff of knowledge transfer offices in universities and public research organizations, university incubator and science park managers, as well as regional development officers with responsibility for relations with academia.

Music lovers and winter sports fans will also be able to combine their attendance at the workshop with a weekend of concerts and/or expeditions to the ski slopes. The registration fee for the workshop is 450 EUR (covers the course, materials, lunches and refreshments) and accommodation in Salzburg can be booked through TII at special negotiated rates. The full programme and registration/hotel booking form are available via the TII website at www.tii.org under the EVENTS section.
