Enterprise projectCall for case studiesWe are very keen to collect examples of how enterprise and entrepreneurship are included within bioscience curricula, and are currently offering payment of £100 in return for accepted case studies.

Enterprise surveyThe Centre for Bioscience is collaborating with the National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship (NGCE) to gather data on how much enterprise and entrepreneurship teaching and support is available to bioscience students. Thank you to those who completed our short questionnaire. You can download a report of our survey findings written by our Director, Ian Hughes.Enterprise audit toolThis audit tool is specifically directed towards helping staff in the identification and enhancement of enterprise elements within a degree programme. Using this will enable you to verify the many aspects of enterprise already addressed in your degree programme and will allow activities to be identified, clarified and badged as enterprise to students. The audit makes clear the range of activities which contribute to the issue and may reassure colleagues that quite a lot of work may already be developed in the area; though perhaps not explicitly identified as being directed toward the development of enterprise in graduates.

It would normally be supplied to students as part of their course handout for the year and could be discussed during the personal tutorials sessions and/or within PDP.

The aim was to identify commonalities and differences in interpretations/definitions of enterprise and entrepreneurship, strategies for and examples of embedding practice, and information about what learning and teaching resources exist and are still needed. Feedback regarding the event was very positive with the workshop being both informative and thought provoking for participants, with the cross-discipline element to the event seen as a key contributor to its success. Download the report of the workshop.Projects funded by the Centre for BioscienceThe Centre has funded the following mini–projects to produce resources for use in the teaching of bioscience: Bioscience Enterprise – Ideas Into Action A Framework for Enterprise Development and Entrepreneurship What else is happening on enterprise and entrepreneurship?Read more about Enterprise and Entrepreneurship: What they mean for the biosciences Enterprise Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETLs):The Institute for Enterprise (Leeds Metropolitan University) White Rose Centre for Excellence in the Teaching and Learning of Enterprise (WRCETLE), a regional collaboration between the Universities of Sheffield, Leeds and York.
