The goal of the Winter School "DEVOS" is to broaden the knowledge of students of economics, business, and other related studies on the concept, approaches, and challenges of sustainability in entrepreneurship.

In small teams, business ideas embedding sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be developed. This cross-border collaboration does not only contribute to an entrepreneurial mindset, it also strengthens students' consciousness about sustainability and helps them develop intercultural and language skills.

(Local) cooperation parnters include e.g. the Makerspace Carinthia, Start-Up Carinthia and Global Case study challenge.
