The Worldwide Universities Network Enterprise initiative delivers unique value to academics/faculty, students, researchers, administrators, and other external organizations/companies, because it provides the first forum in which to establish, compare, contrast and disseminate entrepreneurial development and best-practices across a network of global universities in the European Union, Asia, United States, and Australia. As an established global organization with a track record in fostering effective interdisciplinary international relationships, the WUN provides a strong base for cross-institutional collaboration in both social and commercial enterprise fields. WUN partners and their associates include some of the strongest research and educational centers in the enterprise field. Our strategic recommendations on the role of enterprise in higher education will help shape future policy and reinforce the importance of entrepreneurial learning and partnerships.
Our global focus connects leading national organizations into a central worldwide network, where partnerships in teaching, research and program administration can be strengthened and showcased. Additionally, the series of WUN Enterprise conferences in Chicago, Leeds, and Hangzhou have brought together international colleagues and opened critical dialogue about the growing role of entrepreneurship education and outreach. The significant outcomes and strategic proposals of the inaugural conference series will serve as a catalyst for future international events.
