Welcome to the Institute for Enterprise
This is the last entry I will write as Director of the Institute for Enterprise as we end its current period of activity at the end of August. Many of our staff on temporary contracts have left or will leave at the end of August and it is time to thank them, our management team and our dynamic Advisory Board for their tireless work and commitment in shaping the Institute.
Some core project work will be taken forward in the Faculties and under the auspices of the Assessment, Learning and Teaching Office from September 2010. We will continue to use this website to report our continuing activities so don’t take it off your favourites just yet.
We have an interesting bank of papers, presentations and other learning resources available through this web page. The Institute has also submitted bids for funding opportunities to take forward some of our work. We are particularly interested on encouraging new staff to the University to use our resources and encourage understanding of enquiry based learning as a way to sustain enterprise education in a creative and participatory way.
