The IMPACT ACADEMY project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, officially closes on October 2025 with a final transnational meeting and public event hosted in Aix-en-Provence by the project coordinator Aix-Marseille University. Partners gathered to assess progress, celebrate results, and lay the foundations for future use of the project’s tools and approaches.

Held over two days, the meeting included the final internal coordination session and a multiplier event, which brought together educators, students, and stakeholders to discuss how entrepreneurship education can support Europe’s sustainability transition.

Multiplier events were also organised in Italy, Spain, North Macedonia, Türkiye, and Belgium, enabling each partner to present the project results in their own language and national context. These events reached a diverse audience, from higher education professionals to young entrepreneurs and civil society actors.

Over the course of the project, more than 160 students and practitioners tested the tools and materials. Their feedback confirmed the relevance, clarity, and adaptability of the resources across different educational levels and sectors. The project’s main outputs include:

A multilingual training course on impact entrepreneurship (13 modules)
A self-assessment tool aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
An Impact Skills Framework
A platform hosting best practices and expert interviews
Guidelines for educators and policy recommendations available in 6 languages

All resources are accessible online and free to use under an open license:

During the final meeting, partners agreed on a shared sustainability strategy. All materials will remain available on the platform for at least three more years, and several partners have already committed to:

Integrating the training and tools into existing courses and programmes
Developing new training offers based on the content and lessons learned
Continuing to promote and adapt the resources within national and European networks

As the project concludes, the consortium leaves behind a practical and future-oriented toolbox for educators, trainers, and learners committed to advancing responsible, sustainable, and socially engaged entrepreneurship.
