This tumblr is for the ECCE project. I will be using it to capture activities, research, case studies, reflections and ideas.

Enterprise Champions - Claires

Funded by RDA - North West / EU funding / administered through NCGE

rebidding for funding with 12 universities

  • start businesses
  • helping people to be enterprise ready
  • to create jobs

Manchester Met / Liverpool Uni

Approach:

using things across the campus to build on (activities, incubation etc)

Strategic documents for the university - anything on enterprise?

existing courses? research?

track start ups

Strategically - could be good to bid with other local unis on a project with an enterprise project (as with SPEED).

entrepreneur in residence - getting that to work has been a challenge?

Embedding enterprise within curriculum through Enterprise Crriculum Fellows (HEIFE money)

bespoke curriculum development

work with alumni

events - flyer start programme / social enterprise etc…

business mentoring / workshop

Student awards - most enterprising students

Used the learning for research  - develop papers for conferences etc.

XING tool (more flexible to work with) / Sim Venture

Developing faculty ambassadors

developing incubator

Further enterprise modules

Some of the barriers - MMU & L’Pool Uni

diversity of subject

semantics - the word enterprise / the words you use / relevance

relevance to non business school?

Not part of everybodies aganda

lack of training and awareness

Academic validity
