NCEE is proud to introduce the Entrepreneurial University Award, recognising higher education institutions that exhibit exceptional innovation, leadership, and societal impact.
The Award draws on our two decades of collaborative experience with universities, sector bodies and governments. We have spent the past few months refining the criteria and piloting the Award, and we are excited to open up the first window for applications today.
In this four-part mini-series, we will be covering:
- The benefits of the Award (today)
- How the Award works (tomorrow)
- Top tips for your application (Wednesday)
- Next steps and how to get started (Thursday).
Earning the Award brings numerous benefits for your university:
Recognition and validation: The Award validates your entrepreneurial capabilities with a badge to showcase on your website, materials, and campus. It is the mark of an innovative, forward-thinking institution. Our framework has been developed and refined over the past 20 years, and the areas covered have been tested in higher education sectors across the world.
Enhanced visibility: Give your university a competitive edge in appealing to business, communities, and prospective students and staff. The Award amplifies your reputation regionally and globally.

Exclusive opportunities: Gain priority access to funded initiatives and programmes as a certified entrepreneurial university.
