AURORA

The AURORA Alliance equips European Universities to provide a diverse student population with the skills and mindset needed to contribute to addressing societal challenges as social entrepreneurs and innovators.
AURORA supports the Nordic Nine strategy at CBS by recognizing humanity’s challenges and having the entrepreneurial knowledge to help resolve them.
You can find more about Aurora and the key priority themes on the AURORA website.
AURORA relies on intensive cooperation with our 10 selected European partners from Reykjavik to Naples. You can see the list of our partners at the end of this page.
Via collaboration of educators and exchange among students, social entrepreneurship education will be enhanced with innovative teaching formats such as blended format electives, summer university courses, and hackathons at CBS or at our AURORA partners.
We invite you to read more about the AURORA opportunities for social entrepreneurship education below.
