This online conference aims to bring enterprise leaders from higher education around the world together, to share practice, consider new ways of working, extend networks, and understand the external context.
This conference will explore the next steps for enterprise in higher education. There is an increasing focus on entrepreneurship to drive economic growth and provide the skills to adapt to an ever-changing world. Higher education must be at the forefront and help to build innovative and creative mindsets, skills, behaviours. What more can we do?
This conference is delivered to support the Global Alliance of Entrepreneurial Universities, an international network of universities committed to entrepreneurship and enterprise. It is delivered by NCEE, which was established 20 years ago to support universities to be more enterprising and entrepreneurial.
