About Enterprise Educators UK
Who are we?
Enterprise Educators UK is the national network for enterprise educators. We are an organisation of over 90 UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) representing more than 600 enterprise education professionals.
Our purpose is simple - to support our members to increase the scale, scope and effectiveness of enterprise and entrepreneurship teaching within their organisations.
Why is the work of our members so important?
Enterprise and entrepreneurship education is now widely recognised as a key ingredient of a well-rounded education across all sectors. Our members recognise the need for more enterprising young people to rise to the 21st century's economic, environmental and social challenges and we see enterprise skills as a crucial element of innovation in all its forms. Our members work with students, post-graduate researchers, academics and the business community to build enterprise capability across a broad range of disciplines.
