KEF Consultation - EEUK responds

KEF Consultation - EEUK respondsWith over 50 responses to our recent member survey on metrics / Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) our submission to HEFCE is in.

Overall, members welcomed KEF as part of the key institutional metrics (REF and TEF) and a clear way to signal to senior management for the need for consistent support and the longer-term planning horizons that are needed to build an effective entrepreneurial eco-system and culture.

Given that income will become associated with KEF, members called for the creation of credible and verifiable metrics that recognise entrepreneurship support and outcomes, and that are submitted following clear and robust national guidance. Such clarity will ensure KEF becomes nationally recognised across education and business to provide EEUK members with a new way of further engaging externals and stakeholders in this agenda.

Thank you to our members for helping us to shape a response to this important consultation.

Enterprise and Entrepreneurship: New advice for universities

Enterprise and Entrepreneurship: New advice for universitiesWhen universities foster a culture of enterprise and entrepreneurship, it equips students with the skills for a rewarding, self-determined professional life.

It also has significant benefits for the institution itself, says new guidance from the UK’s independent quality body QAA , publishing on 18 January. The guidance will also be available in Mandarin, following widespread use of the previous version.

QAA Chief Executive Douglas Blackstock says: 'Since we published our original guide to enterprise and entrepreneurship education in 2012, there have been substantial developments in UK and international policy and practice.

'Alongside providers' adoption of new types of learning and new metrics for success are recent policy drives to apply entrepreneurial approaches to STEM subjects and the government's new Industrial Strategy. This updated guide responds to these changes.'

The revised guidance, led by Professor Andrew Penaluna of the International Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship, captures the latest thinking on how to embed enterprise and entrepreneurship in higher education.

'Educators are often tasked with preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies that have not yet been invented, and spotting and solving problems that we have yet to define clearly,' says Professor Penaluna.

'For enterprise and entrepreneurship to be meaningful and effective requires new approaches to teaching and assessment within a whole university culture.

'The best opportunities for students occur when universities create a central environment that supports collaborative working across different areas.'

While the last five years have seen significant progress in enterprise and entrepreneurship education, Professor Penaluna believes universities can do a lot more to prepare graduates who want to run their own businesses or hit the ground running as graduate employees.

'We need to allow students to learn in a way that enables them to identify and solve real problems, perhaps starting a business as an integral part of their programme or responding to challenges set by a local enterprise,' he says.

'And, allow them to fail, especially when learning is the result. Being able to experience failure in order to find new ways forward is a valuable life lesson that increases resilience, helps flexible thought development and brings innovative new ideas into play.'

EEUK believes that this second version of the QAA Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Education Guidance will be the keystone document across the sector.

In 2012 it was completely groundbreaking for the QAA and sector specialists, led by Professor Andy Penaluna (EEUK Fellow) to create a new type of Guidance document that would work with, and span across, all QAA Subject Benchmarks. Since then, it has become the only ‘go-to’ guidance, not only in HE, but also in FE and around the world.

This new edition, which has been influenced by both EEUK members and IEEC delegates creates a highly accessible working document that will drive further change across the sector.

EEUK’s Head of Policy, Alison Price said, ‘This 2018 version is clearer to read, more strategic as well as more practical, providing the national definitions for enterprise and entrepreneurship, as well as advice on delivery (at both student and institutional level). This document will become the guiding light within the sector.’

The new guidance can be read and downloaded here .

IPO Resources for Further and Higher Education

IPO Resources for Further and Higher EducationIn September 2017 the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) began phasing in new resources for further and higher education. The Future Innovators Toolkit (FIT), IP Tutor Plus and IP for Research were updated and completed on the 9th January 2018.

The Future Innovators Toolkit (FIT) provides Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teachers with the resources they need to introduce IP at any point in the curriculum.

FIT consists of lesson plans, case studies, research scenarios and power point slides which focusses on developing enterprise and employability skills. These resources raise understanding of managing and exploiting IP and prepare STEM students for Higher Education or their careers.

IP Tutor Plus supports university lecturers by explaining what IP is and how it fits into their students’ future careers. Working alongside patent and trade mark attorneys, lecturers and industry professionals it includes slides, lecture notes, FAQs, case studies and wider talking points.

IP Tutor Plus compliments the existing IP Tutor resource. Where IP Tutor provides the information on how each intellectual property right works, IP Tutor Plus helps lecturers engage their students on the relevance and use of IP. Just like IP Tutor, IP Tutor Plus includes 4 modules, covering Creative, Humanities and STEM and Law, Business & Accounting areas.

The IPO created IP for Research for PhD students and researchers to understand the importance of IP in maximising the impact of their research.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON CROWNED ENACTUS UK NATIONAL CHAMPION, 2017

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON CROWNED ENACTUS UK NATIONAL CHAMPION, 2017On the 10th and 11th April, the top 42 Enactus teams from across the UK competed in the Enactus UK 2017 National Expo at the ExCeL, London.

The dynamic, energy-filled event brought together 750 university students, 60 academics, and over 350 senior UK business leaders across two days of celebration and collaboration of Youth Social Action and Social Enterprise. Key note speakers included Lord Victor Adebowale CBE.

The Enactus teams competed for the title of 2017 Enactus UK National Champion by showcasing their social and community projects to business executives serving as judges. The students were evaluated on how successfully they applied business concepts and an entrepreneurial approach to improve the quality of life of those in need. The final round judging panel comprised 100 senior business leaders including Lord Michael Hastings of Scarisbrick, CBE, Global Head of Corporate Citizenship, KPMG International, Peter Holbrook, CEO of Social Enterprise UK and Gurpreet Jagpal, Chair of Enterprise Educators UK.

Enactus Southampton won the competition after showcasing two of their inspirational social enterprises. The first, Sole Support, trains vulnerable individuals within Kenyan communities to create shoes out of waste tyres and tackles three main issues: protection against infections and parasites, lack of affordable footwear and accumulating stock piles of waste tyres. The second, Juamaji, uses heat from the sun to purify dirty water whilst sustainably farming tilapia fish, providing both cleaner water and a staple food source to the communities they work in.

Enactus Southampton will now go on to represent Enactus UK in the Enactus World Cup 2017 which Enactus UK is very proud to be hosting in London, at the same venue, ExCel from 26th -28th September, 2017. This is the first time since 2001 that Enactus UK has hosted the Enactus World Cup and preparations are well under way. Enactus UK is looking forward to welcoming the 35 other competing Enactus country Champions to our capital, London.

The two-day event consisted of more than just the competition and included an Enterprise and Employability Fair with over 35 corporate and social enterprise partners and a Project Exhibition in which the students showcased their flagship social and community projects to participants and judges.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Barclays hosted luncheons on ‘Enterprising Women’ and ‘Trends in Entrepreneurship’ which were each attended by over 140 student leaders. Ashley Hever, Talent Acquisition Director at Enterprise Rent-A-Car said, “It was great to meet so many Enactus students at our Enterprising Women Networking Brunch ‘What I know now… I wish I knew then’. We were able to make connections with some fantastic students and start conversations which will hopefully lead to many starting their careers with Enterprise. ”

Enterprise Educator UK (EEUK) hosted a lunch for all the Enactus University Advisers and Enactus UK and EEUK, announced its intention to work more closely together to drive forward their important work in enterprise education, social enterprise and youth social action within the HE sector. Gups Jagpal, Chair of EEUK, also presented University Adviser Awards to Gary Dewey of the University of Liverpool and Sophie Taylor Gammon of the University of Kent in recognition of their unstinting support for their teams over the past year.

Enactus UK released its thought leadership paper – Millennial Values, Future Leaders which celebrates the experiences of Enactus UK Alumni who have gone on to lead in society as future socially responsible leaders in enterprise.

Andrew Bacon OBE, CEO of Enactus UK was delighted with the success of the event. He said:

“Congratulations to the 2017 National Enactus Champion team from the University of Southampton and all of our 56 teams who delivered so much more social and community impact through their projects this year. Every stage of the competition was fiercely contested this year and that is down to the hard work of all involved in the programme be they the team members, the business advisers and volunteers or the support from the university and alumni mentors. We look forward to hosting and competing at the Enactus World Cup in London in September 2017 with 35 other countries and over 4,000 current and future responsible business leaders. ”
