One of the tasks of the ENHANCE work package: 'Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Innovation,' is to upskill mentors involved in the mentoring system for sustainable entrepreneurship established within the LINK WUT / LINK ENHANCE Alliance. The system connects startups with mentors collaborating with all ten universities of the Alliance.

The workshop was conducted by prof. Agnieszka Skala-Gosk, from Faculty of Management at WUT and Łukasz Sztern from the Center for Innovation Management and Technology Transfer at WUT as well as Ms. Marta Skrzydelska, a coaching and mentoring trainer and academic lecturer associated with the University of Warsaw.

The objectives of the Training were:

- to discuss the experience to date with the Enhance Mentoring System and to prepare for the implementation of further extended mentoring and coaching tasks under the future financial perspective (the so-called ENHANCE+),
- to improve the competencies of the mentoring team through professional training and discussions on mentoring and coaching methodologies and tools.

Fourteen participants from six ENHANCE universities took part in the Training. During a break in the content-related activities, the participants visited the Main Building and Campus of the Warsaw University of Technology with a guide from the Museum of the Warsaw University of Technology.
