Abstract
Non-formal education seeks to address the limitations of formal education that do not reach all communities and do not provide all new competencies and capabilities that are essential for the integrated development of communities. The role of non-formal education becomes even more relevant in the context of developing countries where significant asymmetries in access to education emerge. This study adopts the Solutions Story Tracker provided by the Solutions Journalism Network to identify and explore solutions based on journalism stories in the non-formal education field. A total of 256 stories are identified and categorized into 14 dimensions. The findings reveal that practical, participatory, and volunteering dimensions are the three most common dimensions in these non-formal education initiatives. Furthermore, two emerging dimensions related to empowerment and sustainability are identified, allowing us to extend the theoretical knowledge in the non-formal education field. These conclusions are relevant for establishing public policies that can involve greater participation by local communities in non-formal education and for addressing sustainability challenges through bottom-up initiatives.

Abstract
This chapter aims to analyze and map the behaviors and strategies employed by organizations recognized for their innovation, with the goal of developing a comprehensive innovation management framework. This framework is designed to merge innovation practices with elements of traditional management, creating a hybrid model to support companies, universities, and research institutes in fostering innovation. Rooted in an understanding of human evolution, the framework will reflect changes in needs, skills, and behaviors over time, enabling institutions to adapt their innovation strategies to align with societal and individual development. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, it will integrate concepts from innovation, organizational management, and the human sciences to establish a structure that supports sustainable innovation while addressing contemporary challenges. © 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Abstract
Knowledge sharing and team dynamics are essential elements of entrepreneurial success, especially in teams that operate in innovative environments. This chapter explores how participation in an incubation program influences the formation and development of entrepreneurial team identity. It aims to understand the dynamics involved in creating entrepreneurial teams, the practices of knowledge sharing, and the role digital technologies play in supporting and sustaining these processes. The study focuses on teams that completed the CEU iLab Incubation Program, with data gathered through in-depth semi-structured interviews from twenty-five entrepreneurs across various startups. Five cases, involving entire entrepreneurial teams, were central to this research. The findings offer valuable insights for enhancing incubation programs, promoting entrepreneurial identity formation, and improving the success of new ventures. These insights are beneficial for both scholars and practitioners in the entrepreneurship field.

Abstract
This article describes the construction path of a Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) tool, starting with a systematic literature review of all responsible innovation tools to extract the essential dimensions and exclude overlapping. Those dimensions were presented in a series of workshops within a Research and Innovation Action European Project where 35 Innovation Actions (IA) were developed. Focus-group methodology was followed, including the IA's leaders, to generate discussion around the sixteen dimensions and the meanings of the different grades of the Likert scale of an assessment tool to be applied to innovation processes and results. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Abstract
PurposeThis study aims to identify and explore the factors affecting social entrepreneurial intentions considering an educational institution in Portugal. It also intends to determine the relevance of moderating factors in the antecedents and entrepreneurial intention of these students. Design/methodology/approachA panel of 177 undergraduate students enrolled in a social entrepreneurship course between the academic years 2018 and 2021 is considered. The data is explored quantitatively considering descriptive analysis techniques, correlational analysis and hypothesis testing. FindingsThe findings reveal that entrepreneurial intention depends on multiple individual, organizational and contextual dimensions. Students' entrepreneurial intention remains unchanged regardless of the student's profile. However, students' professional experience is a more relevant factor for the identification of organizational dimensions related to curriculum and critical pedagogy, while previous involvement in volunteer activities contributes to a higher prevalence of individual factors. Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is original in exploring the role of entrepreneurial intention and its antecedents considering a heterogeneous students' profile. It offers theoretical and practical contributions by extending the literature on social entrepreneurial intention that can be used by higher education institutions to offer specific training more focused on the student's profile.
