Teachers and students from Germany, Jordan and Uzbekistan met for the third time to design a new Master's degree programme in the field of entrepreneurship.

The series of workshops on the international Master's degree programme in Entrepreneurship at the partner university New Uzbekistan University (NUU) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, was successfully completed on 30 April 2024. The participants from HTWD, the German-Jordanian University and NUU used the week to work together on the further development of the programme and gain valuable insights into local entrepreneurship. The content of the module handbook was jointly developed and clear learning outcomes and appealing teaching formats were defined for each module.

Networking with local entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan was also an important part of the workshop series. Participants took part in discussions with local start-ups and entrepreneurs. In this way, they gained valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan and were able to incorporate these findings into the further development of the Master's programme.

In addition to academic work, the programme also included intercultural exchange. The participants explored Uzbekistan's diverse history and culture and deepened their connections with each other. The intercultural dialogue not only promoted understanding and awareness, but also enriched the entire co-creation process for the further development of the Master's programme.
