The project I-THEN (International Technical Higher Education Network) designed and founded by Eng. Fabio Manenti, has as main objective the cooperation between universities and professional institutes European and non-EU, International public and private organisations for the creation of a network for the joint development of international programmes and activities of alternating school and work, as well as international spin-offs and innovation and R&D projects.
In this context we would like to open an Assistance Desk for entrepreneurial coaching with the medium-term objective of creating a pre-incubation business structure.
The courses will allow you to obtain first ITS diplomas which are:
- Obtained at the end of a two-year course of study and international work;
- Validated or to be validated in all partner states;
- Recognized by the partner universities for a possible continuation of their studies and for obtaining a short degree.
Our Inital Partners are:
Universities, Professional Institutes, Ngos, Chambers of Commerce, Technology Parks, Business Incubators and Innovative Start-ups with offices in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Germany, France, Slovenia, Turkey, Canada, Argentina and Chile.
Our goal is, however, to extend our network in most of Europe and have a decent presence in the rest of the world.
This project has been financed by the European Union
