The European Entrepreneurship Colloquium (EEC) is an intensive, one-week residential programme specifically designed for European professors and educators who are seeking to integrate more effective, appropriate and interactive approaches, as well as practical skills in teaching entrepreneurship.
The EEC 2012 is managed by the European Forum for Entrepreneurship Research (EFER) and delivered in partnership with the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL). Academic contributors include Professor Christoph Loch, Dean of Cambridge Judge Business School; Dr Shai Vyakarnam, Director of the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning and Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, Vice Chancellor of the University of Cambridge.
I am greatly looking forward to bringing our programme to Cambridge to inspire intellectual debate and research to advance entrepreneurial learning across Europe, as well as to encourage more ‘European Champions of Enterprise.’
Bert Twaalfhoven
“We are delighted to be hosting the prestigious European Entrepreneurship Colloquium this year at the University of Cambridge,” the Vice-Chancellor commented. “It represents a great opportunity to showcase the innovation happening here in Cambridge and how we foster enterprise. It will also be a chance to engage with colleagues from across Europe to further our contribution to Entrepreneurship Education.”
EEC 2012 is focusing the European dimensions of entrepreneurship, interactive entrepreneurial learning approaches and case methods; and exposure to ‘real world’ entrepreneurship practices. There will be a special emphasis on ‘Innovation and Entrepreneurship across the University’ in several sessions of the programme, highlighting the ‘Spin-off Phenomenon’, and ‘Case Studies of New Europe Champions.’
“I am greatly looking forward to bringing our programme to Cambridge to inspire intellectual debate and research to advance entrepreneurial learning across Europe, as well as to encourage more ‘European Champions of Enterprise’,” stated Mr Bert Twaalfhoven, serial entrepreneur and founder of the European Forum for Entrepreneurship Research (EFER).
