PRACTICES IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION IN SOUTH EAST EUROPE AND RUSSIA

The REBUS project emerged in countries where the younger generations are reluctant to engage in private business and entrepreneurship, preferring "safe" employment at the public (state owned) enterprises. Their awareness of own entrepreneurship potentials is very low, while the capacity of talented and skilled students often stays unutilized once being employed. Thus the REBUS project supports embedding entrepreneurship to the South East Europe and Russian universities, at the same time creating network for cooperation between EU and partner countries. One of the first activities was identification, analysis and description of common practices in entrepreneurship education. For this purpose, a comprehensive desk research was combined with expert interviews to inquire about approaches of learning and teaching, connections to lessons, courses and extracurricular activities and approaches to validate entrepreneurial competences. The stocktaking related to the knowledge and differentiation on entrepreneurial competences, leading questions of the surveys related to gaps between formalised (HE) and informal (personal oriented, e.g. in internships) learning and assessment, potentials for enhancements of acquisition of those competences, validation of entrepreneurial competences and selection of key sub-competences. This paper presents results of research and needs analysis (stocktaking) and project objectives and first results

Use of Multi-criteria Decision Aid Methods for Selection of the Best Alternative for the Highway Tunnel Doors

AbstractThe paper describes the application of the multicriteria optimization in selecting the best alternative when choosing a tunnel security door. The paper presents an overview of the requirements of internationally recognized and other important standards and recommendations aimed at increasing the level of safety in tunnels, as well as an example of the multicriteria analysis for the selection of doors. The applied alternatives multicriteria ranking methods are VIKOR, PVIKOR and PROMETHEE, whose results are compared in order to propose and adopt a final solution. Paper also assesses the possibilities and profitability of production of such doors in BiH. The application of these methods shows that multicriteria optimization can significantly facilitate and accelerate the decision-making process
