Tiimiakatemia

Tiimiakatemia, http://tiimiakatemia.fi/fi/,  is an entrepreneurship centre of excellence of the JAMK university of applied sciences in Jyväskylä. Tiimiakatemia students run their own cooperative businesses and learn with real money and real customers. Students have to do real-life projects, which they have to find themselves, to cover all the expenses of the company. Projects function both as learning environments (for studies and developing the individual’s competence) and as ways of doing business (for team companies).

Some of the principles of the school are: no students but team entrepreneurs, no teaching but learning, no control but self-organising.
