The U.S. Department of State has awarded Florida State University’s Learning Systems Institute (LSI) and the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship a grant to enhance entrepreneurship education in Armenia, the University informs.
In partnership with the Armenian State University of Economics (ASUE), the project is underway and will run through September 2026.
The project will develop Armenian STEM and social entrepreneurship through a collaboration between Florida State and the Armenian State University of Economics (ASUE).
U.S. faculty will train ASUE faculty and administrators on entrepreneurship education, support the creation of a STEM Social Innovators Incubator at ASUE and partner with Armenian peers to develop four FSU/ASUE courses on social entrepreneurship. They will also incorporate a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project through the new courses and implement an FSU/ASUE certificate in social entrepreneurship.
Vilma Fuentes, program director for the FSU Ukraine Task Force and an associate in research at LSI, will serve as the project’s co-principal investigator along with Susana Santos, associate professor of entrepreneurship in the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship.
