How can universities instil the entrepreneurial mindset in faculty, staff and students? Is this even something you can teach? And if you can, what are some of the challenges and pitfalls?
Figuring out the answers to these questions, and more, is a panel of experts from around the world: Kirsty Collinge, the head of research strategy at the University of Edinburgh; Linda Koschier, the head of entrepreneurship at the University of New South Wales’ Faculty of Engineering; Koenraad Debackere, the executive director of KU Leuven Research & Development; and Paul Cheek, a senior lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management.
The panel will give insights into how you can empower students, how you can foster entrepreneurship on campus even if you live in a risk-averse culture, and how you can give people more time to focus on their business ideas.
This episode is a recording of a TenU Hosts webinar, chaired by Catherine Headley, the CEO of the University of Manchester Innovation Factory.
