LERU Launch Event: "Student entrepreneurship at research-intensive universities. From a peripheral activity towards a new mainstream."
Our society increasingly needs entrepreneurial attitudes and skills. What this precisely entails, why research-intensive universities are ideally positioned to stimulate the emergence of these attitudes and skills, and how student entrepreneurship can be supported and organised, is set out in a new LERU advice paper, entitled “Student entrepreneurship at research-intensive universities. From a peripheral activity towards a new mainstream”.
