Abstract

In a context in which the Erasmus programme has become one of the most important international study programmes and entrepreneurs are highly acknowledged as a driving force of any economy, the present paper aims to investigate the influence of Erasmus mobilities for studies on the development of entrepreneurship competences among participants. The article is based on qualitative field research carried out during the second semester of the 2022-2023 academic year, following the EntreComp framework. This consisted of the development of semi-structured interviews with incoming Erasmus students at the University of Economics in Bratislava (Slovakia), mainly from both Western and Eastern European countries. The study revealed that, following the students Erasmus experience, the interviewed developed various entrepreneurship competences like opportunity identification, creativity, ideas capitalisation, self-awareness, motivation, perseverance, financial literacy, initiative taking, dealing with uncertainty, teamwork, and learning from experiences. The study sets premises for future research, at the same time, impacting practical policies in mobility areas developed at university level.
