Who we are?
The Enterprise Alliance UK makes the case for enterprising learning and practical development for all students by representing the interests of our membership to expand enterprise education and development in the UK.
The Enterprise Alliance UK has the following goals:
The Enterprise Alliance UK is being formed at a time when the role of enterprise and entrepreneurship in education has never been more important. We maintain that the development of an enterprising and entrepreneurial ideology in University is vital for national economic regeneration and to achieve this we need firm governmental support.
What we do?
1. Create and share knowledge and research to inform government policy, educational practice and public awareness of the value and impact of enterprise and entrepreneurship education.
2. Work together and separately to raise awareness in government of issues and developments in enterprise and entrepreneurship education, and make recommendations.
3. Promote a national programme of development events, conferences and disseminate activities for all our members and those who wish to work with us.
4. Our annual international conferences, focusing on enterprise and entrepreneurship education, will be developed as flagship events for promoting the highest standards of practice in the UK.
5. We will actively disseminate news and information to our members in relation to enterprise and entrepreneurship education
