Summary
This event explored the current best practices and developed ideas of how enterprise education can be further implemented in subjects other than business. The day had speakers from DMU and other universities and colleges sharing their experiences in branching outside of business disciplines, and sharing thoughts on how this process can be achieved with minimal friction.
Enterprise education is essential to all, yet does not form a cornerstone of many disciplines, therefore we will seek to consider how enterprise fits within topics such as health and life sciences, the arts, science and engineering. The speakers and workshops during the day are designed to get delegates recognizing barriers to implementing enterprise education in varying disciplines.
The day also included discussion around engaging key stakeholders and gaining their support in rolling out an institution wide enterprise education agenda.
