What are global interest groups
An interest group enables practitioners and researchers to gather around shared areas of interest. Our interest groups are international.
The aims of our interest groups are to:
– Share ideas and knowledge
– Spark new ideas for collaboration and projects.
– Communicate new ideas and practice beyond the group
We will support interest groups that support universities to be more enterprising and entrepreneurial.
How they work
- They will be on topics of interest that bring people from universities around the world together
- Self organised with subjects for discussion chosen by the members
- NCEE will publish research and case studies by the community
- NCEE will publish events for the community, encouraging more members
- NCEE will provide the platform for discussions and interaction.
- NCEE can message members of the community directly, keeping them up to date
Global Interest Groups
Business Clinics
This is our first interest group, established in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University. This group looks at how we can support students to engage with business as part of their degree. The group seeks to generate best practice, and understand how it can operate across different subject areas and disciplines.
This interest group will be launched at an online event on the 13 November 2024, 12-1pm (UK).
