Case studies

The Principles of Entrepreneurship course introduces students to the fundamentals that underpin entrepreneurial activities and how it can create different types of value in society. The game offers an opportunity to explore entrepreneurship through practice, bringing questions of business strategy, ethical decision-making, and sustainability into a shared co-learning experience.

Human Rights in the Digital Age: Reconsidering Impact explores how human rights and ethical principles can be embedded in data practices, taking into account their impact on society. Students work with concepts such as privacy, fairness, justice and non-discrimination, while learning to assess concrete data practices against legal and ethical requirements.
