multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary settingthat provides the basis for robust and sustainable solutions. In this proceeding, we present ourobservations, challenges, and learnings garnered over eight years of hosting the summer schooland detail the current program design, which has evolved to reflect lessons learned.1. The ProgramThe US-Denmark research and education program, funded for the first three years by the DanishAgency for Science, Technology and Innovation and the following five years by US-NSF PIRE,is a cooperative and collaborative partnership between two US universities: Universities ofCalifornia, Santa Cruz and Davis (UCSC, UC Davis), and two Danish universities: AalborgUniversity (AAU) and the Technical University of Denmark

view might overestimate thedifferences between the two and miss the common ground that provides the potential for the kindof regulatory coherence that would be required to make the TTIP and other forms ofinternational cooperation possible. As we hope this paper makes clear, it takes a great deal ofresearch and analysis to understand the complexities of differences in legal and regulatorysystems and how those systems relate to differences in values and preferences. From a curricularpoint of view, we cannot reasonably expect to provide students with all the kinds of knowledgethey would need to collaborate across all polities globally (any more than we could expect themto learn all the languages their engineering collaborators might speak). We

increase in mentorship,entrepreneurial workshops and competitions. VII. Future WorkPrevious studies have proposed different methods of assessment for the impact ofentrepreneurship education on engineering students (Upton, Sexton, & Moore, 1995; Wheeler,1993). Some researchers have suggested using the ratio of entrepreneurs among engineeringalumni to entrepreneurs in comparison with business or general alumni population. Others usedthe number of start-ups founded per engineering alumni within x years after graduation incomparison with those by business or general alumni population. Some even suggested using taxdata to compare their household income. While entrepreneurship is important for the economy,these criteria may not be the best way

program to foster both educationalinnovations for student development of skills for innovation and entrepreneurship, anduniversity-wide engagement likely to lead to institutionalization of the supported innovations. Tothis end, VentureWell collaborated with the Increase the Impact team, a research project teamthat has developed resources to improve propagation of educational innovations, to develop aworkshop for its grantees to support institutionalization.Designing for Institutionalization ApproachThe Designing for Institutionalization (DI) approach was derived from the Designing forSustained Adoption (DSA) approach. DSA was developed by the Increase the Impact team basedon studies of typical practice and successful practice.19 The framework is
