Abstract
Senior entrepreneurship is getting increasing prominence in research, academia, and business. Given the demographic shifts occurring in Western Europe, it is also becoming a nuclear topic of interest for policymakers. Still, existing literature overlooked the emergent trend encompassing older individuals which, with different leitmotifs, starting-up new enterprises after decades as employees. In doing so, they convey formal and informal knowledge, networks, experience, savoir faire, and financial endowments, nurtured along the years, which is an evident advantage compared to the younger counterparts. Due to the raising number of negative experiences in the job market, either in getting or maintaining a position, senior workers look up for alternatives. Sometimes being pushed by necessity, other times pulled by opportunity identification and independence, seniors are increasingly making their best to overcome unsatisfying or insufficient conditions as employees. Enhancing entrepreneurial initiative across older individuals is urgent for policy makers due to the need to find occupation for an aging population and their contribution to income generation, at the same time, social and human capital will be leveraged, multiplying the effects of other policy actions such as education. Using the GEM database, this article aims to offer an overview on the role of age in entrepreneurial intention and its nature, addressing the nonlinearities of the effect. This new methodological framework can be used as a basis for future empirical research on the topic of senior entrepreneurship; additionally, it aims contributing to a better understanding of the role of age in shifting the individual reasons for starting a business, controlling for other individual characteristics. The identification of the particular features of the different age cohorts along with gender, education, social context or macro-economic contexts will shed some light on the specific policy packages needed to reinforce the entrepreneurial initiative as a vehicle to promote sustainable and inclusive growth along the European Countries.

Abstract
Emotional intelligence is intrinsically associated with the ability to understand, manage, and express feelings and deal with other people's emotions. This competence is essential for the formation, development, and maintenance of personal and professional relationships. Furthermore, emotional intelligence can be extensively worked out and developed over time, which allows each individual to become a better professional. Nevertheless, the perception that higher education students have about the importance of emotional intelligence remains residual and there are few contexts that allow them to develop emotional intelligence skills. In this sense, this study proposes the use of a serious game to assess and develop emotional intelligence skills in the context of an entrepreneurship discipline attended by multidisciplinary students from the courses of management and computer engineering. The performance of students is measured and discussed considering a mixed methods approach. The findings indicate the existence of a correlation between the player's emotional intelligence skills and his performance in the game, and this occurrence is common to students regardless of their course, gender, age, and number of years of professional experience. The study also explores the importance of emotional intelligence considering the distinct profile of students.
