Climate-KIC Education - Call per 16 Business coach per la "Climate-KIC Summer School the Journey" 2015

Climate-KIC is one of the Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) designated by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) as key drivers of European excellence, innovation and growth. Climate-KIC Education creates a generation of climate change entrepreneurs and innovators with the multidisciplinary skills to develop economically, environmentally and socially sustainable approaches to mitigate global warming and adapt to its effects.

For this year's Journey we seek 16 coaches who will facilitate learning of business skills by supporting students in translating knowledge into activities and coaching them to create business plans of their own.

This role requires candidates to work and travel with the students for 5 weeks. Candidates may be assigned to journeys which have a stay in their home city (up to two weeks) however candidates should be prepared to spend up to five weeks abroad.
