As a reaction to the positive effects of entrepreneurship, many universities try to enhance students' entrepreneurial mindsets. Based on existing evaluations of entrepreneurship education, this paper focuses on European innovative pedagogy for classroom entrepreneurship. We highlight innovations in entrepreneurial education from seven European countries: Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Poland, and Sweden. Consulting these approaches, the following seams to be particularly crucial: action-/project-based learning, individual and collaborative (team) experiential learning, interdisciplinary grouping, enhancing entrepreneurial skills and knowledge, key qualifications (creativity, autonomy, responsibility, risk-taking), conceptual and informal learning, critical thinking, reflection, meta-cognition, working with innovative ideas, demythologization, learning through "fun", and student-company-university collaboration/networks.
