Vi mindes en højtskattet kollega

Det er med stor sorg, at vi i Fonden for Entreprenørskab må meddele, at vores kære kollega og forskningsleder, Kåre Moberg, er gået bort alt for tidligt.

Kåre var en pioner inden for entreprenørskabsuddannelse og en af de førende internationale forskere på området. I Fonden for Entreprenørskab havde vi og alle omkring os privilegiet af at nyde godt af Kåres intellekt og vindende væsen.

Med sin ph.d.-afhandling “Assessing the Impact of Entrepreneurship Education: From ABC to PhD” fra Copenhagen Business School bidrog han væsentligt til forståelsen af, hvordan entreprenørskabsundervisning påvirker elever og studerende på forskellige uddannelsesniveauer. Han udviklede blandt andet en kategoriseringsmodel, der adresserer de forskellige tilgange til entreprenørskabsundervisning og deres effekt.

Gennem sin forskning var Kåre med til at udvikle nogle af de første progressionsmodeller, som er blevet anvendt som rettesnor for politisk arbejde i mange lande verden over. Hans arbejde i ASTEE-projektet (Assessment Tools and indicators for Entrepreneurship Education) har været afgørende for udviklingen af måleværktøjer til vurdering af entreprenørskabsundervisningens indflydelse.

Konstant udviklende, søgende og forskende delte Kåre sin forskning og refleksioner internationalt og nationalt. Utallige oplæg og konsultationer er holdt, fordi Kåre konstant mindede os om, at netop forskning indenfor entreprenørskabsuddannelse skal ud at leve, ellers gør det ingen forskel.

Som kollega var Kåre lyttende, morsom og generøs med sin viden. Han var en person, man altid gerne ville være sammen med, og hans evne til at dele tanker og lytte gjorde ham til en uvurderlig del af vores team.

Det er stadig svært at forstå, at han ikke er her mere. Men hans vindende væsen og høje faglighed vil altid være en del af vores DNA.

Vores tanker går i denne stund til Kåres familie, nære og kære.

Æret være hans minde

In remembrance of a highly valued colleague

It is with great sadness that we at the Entrepreneurship Foundation share that our dear colleague and research leader, Kåre Moberg, has passed away far too soon.

Kåre was a true pioneer in entrepreneurship education and one of the leading international researchers in the field. At the Entrepreneurship Foundation, we, and everyone around us, had the privilege of benefiting from Kåre's intellect and engaging being.

With his PhD thesis “Assessing the Impact of Entrepreneurship Education: From ABC to PhD” from Copenhagen Business School, he contributed significantly to the understanding of how entrepreneurship education affects pupils and students at different educational levels. Among other things, he developed a categorization model that addresses the different approaches to entrepreneurship education and their impact.

Through his research, Kåre helped develop some of the first progression models, which have been applied as guidelines for political work in many countries around the world, EU in particular.

His work in the ASTEE project (Assessment Tools and indicators for Entrepreneurship Education) has been crucial for the development of measurement tools for assessing the impact of entrepreneurship education.

Constantly developing, searching, and researching, Kåre generously shared his research and reflections internationally and nationally. Countless presentations and consultations have been given. As Kåre constantly reminded us: research within entrepreneurship education must be shared and implemented, otherwise it would not have an impact.

As a colleague, Kåre was a listener, funny, and generous with his knowledge. You wanted to be near Kåre, with his caring and magnanimous personality, his ability to share thoughts and listen he was an invaluable part of our team.

It is still difficult to fathom that he is no longer here. But his manner, demeanour, and impressive professionalism will always be part of our DNA.

Our thoughts are with Kåre's family, near and dear ones.

Honoured be his memory.
