CFP: Creativity, Entrepreneurship, Education and Spirituality in the Digital Era

This is a joint  & very fast term CFP of the C-EPHES Research Center of the “Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, Romania and SRFIT/ROSPHET focused on the change of mentality (and philosophy) required in the Emerging Technologies Era.

Creativity, entrepreneurship and education for skills adapted to the Digital Era are the required keys in order to have a real chance to reinforce Europe’s confidence in its values and strength.

“The days of relying on large businesses or the government for job creation are over. Many of the millions of jobs lost over the past five years will never return in their old form. Entrepreneurship, which has been the engine for growth in the United States, has not been cultivated in an effective or systematic way in Europe. To create more businesses and more startups requires more than a change in policy. It requires a change in mentality” – invites us The Startup Manifesto:  http://startupmanifesto.eu/

“Digital technologies are creating new avenues for progress in almost every industry, which promises to lead to new jobs and opportunities. To take advantage of the digital wave of innovation, Europe needs to develop the skills, policies, and ambition to succeed in a new economic environment” - http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/leaders-club
