IEEC2023 co-host University of Surrey

 

The University of Surrey provides excellent education, and advances and disseminates knowledge; we transform lives and shape the world for a better future by partnering with students, governments, businesses, alumni and local communities; we strive to be a preferred partner for government, business, industry and in creating technological solutions, digital transformation and policy innovation, and the intellectual home for the local community. We aim to make our university the best place to build a career for both staff and students and believe that enterprise skills and the ability to be involved in innovation activity at all career stages, especially early stages, are essential elements of this.

Our innovation activities support entrepreneurship through facilitating collaboration with business, providing clear guidance on IP ownership, offering a range of programmes supporting start-up development for both staff and students, and providing enterprise education in curriculum and in extra curricular options. Our entrepreneurship education offering extends out into the regional business community through our SETsquared Surrey incubation offering and extends back into schools through our SurreyIDEA programme which consists of IDEA in a day sessions and summer schools for year 10 students upwards.

We have formed global relationships that promote and support entrepreneurship in the academic community, including running hackathons in the UKSEI and our UGPN network and being recognised by the UBI as global number 1 university incubation provider as part of our SETsquared Partnership which offers an excellent pipeline to success for entrepreneurs, starting with its Student Enterprise offering which also links with the Surrey Research Park through the Knowledge Exchange placements between students and their companies.

Enterprise thinking is in all of our programmes and spans the University’s networks including Surrey Sports Park, the new School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, School of Biosciences, Institute for Sustainability, plus the Institute for Human Centred Artificial Intelligence all here at Surrey.
