Abstract
The main objective of GETM4 is to research how entrepreneurs can deal with disruption to support not only economic development but also societal wellbeing in a digitized world. Although the COVID19 pandemic was widely predicted, the resulting government restrictions caused unprecedented disruption all over the world. And since disruption has become the norm (e.g. wars, energy crises,
climate change), we must be better prepared and learn how to respond appropriately to it. GETM4 aims at identifying how entrepreneurial talent (of individuals, higher education, and industry) can play a crucial role in exploiting the opportunities and tackling the issues created by disruption. Underpinned by cutting edge digital innovation, entrepreneurship is often expected to promote physical and mental wellbeing, while at the same time entrepreneurs wellbeing is frequently threatened by widespread of technology itself. To tackle this
paradoxical situation, an innovative, multi-perspective approach is needed. The research approach to tackle a global disruption, needs to be global. Strong of an 18 partner Consortium comprising of a transnational, transdisciplinary, transgenerational, trans sectorial and gender balanced research team, GETM4 will organize over 300 secondments across 9 countries and 4 continents, and a series of sandpits
rotating between the partner institutions. This global approach will allow researchers to gain first-hand and in depth insights on relevant research topics and develop their skills through networking and trainings. Our research will be underpinned by a “respectful impact” perspective as we believe research and innovation should be transferred and translated respectfully between the Global South and North
and knowledge should be shared equitably and in all directions.
