Abstract

Increase the impact of your research with Enterprisers

The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), in collaboration with the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL), is offering a unique opportunity to develop personal and professional skills through the Enterprisers programme. It will take place from 5th-9th January 2009 at Arden Training Centre, University of Warwick.

Individuals selected for this programme will be funded by the ESRC and appointed regional development agencies or HEI ’s so participation will be completely free and unrelated to any existing ESRC funding (However, you will be expected to cover travel expenses).

What are you waiting for?

The deadline for applications is 10.00am on the 30th November 2008. Please sign up soon as places are filling up fast! Further information on the programme and an online application form is available via the CfEL web site at www.cfel.jbs.cam.ac.uk/programmes/enterprisers

What will you gain?

Enterprisers is a great place to learn to think more creatively and entrepreneurially. The skills gained are equally applicable to developing a new venture, a student society, a community project and indeed research projects going forward. You can start to learn new and innovative ways to think about your research. Not only that, Enterprisers is a great environment for developing self-confidence and personal skills like networking and team awareness.

If you have any questions, please contact the Enterprisers Programme Manager, Orsolya Ihasz, via email at o.ihasz@jbs.cam.ac.uk
