“The Social Entrepreneurship Approach” developed by Per Pinstrup-Andersen at Cornell University in collaboration with IFPRI, Copenhagen University and Wageningen University, aims to instill in the students a social entrepreneurship mindset and to strengthen their analytical capacity and judgment on the basis of verifiable evidence.

It brings into the classroom real-life policy case studies for discussion by students and instructors. The seminar will present the approach, discuss the experience to date, and suggest how the case material and results from policy research can be used by developing country universities to prepare students for evidence-based participation in debates, advice, and decision-making.

Per Pinstrup-Andersen is the J. Thomas Clark Professor of Entrepreneurship@Cornell, H.E. Babcock Professor of Food, Nutrition and Public Policy, Nutritional Sciences Professor, Applied Economics and Management College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
