PAST SUMMITS

2022 Summit: The Role of Entrepreneurship Education in the Future of Higher Education

The 2022 Summit explored entrepreneurship education in a post-pandemic world by examining critical and timely themes including: entrepreneurial pedagogy; growth and assessment of the university entrepreneurship ecosystem; and the urgent need to equip our students to think and act entrepreneurially under conditions of extreme uncertainty. 

2021 Summit: Entrepreneurship Education when Your Campus is the World

While the global pandemic forced educators to adapt to online and hybrid teaching, this transition also identified opportunities to rethink the geographical boundaries and limitations of the university. The 2021 Summit explored the implications for learners, educators and educational institutions when geography matters less, technology matters more, and new paradigms present unprecedented challenges and opportunities. 

​In 2021, we opened two sessions to the public:
Innovation in Global Entrepreneurship Education: Summit Kickoff and Collaborative Book Launch
Beyond Webinars and WhatsApp: How Members are Maximizing their Collaborative Membership
SESSION DETAILS
Innovation in Global Entrepreneurship Education: Summit Kickoff and Collaborative Book Launch

​The Summit kicked off with a celebration and launch of Innovation in Global Entrepreneurship Education: Teaching Entrepreneurship in Practice, a research book examining entrepreneurship education from a global perspective by focusing on best practices from Babson Collaborative member institutions. This book was written by Collaborative members and edited by Heidi Neck of Babson College and Yipeng Liu of Henley Business School.  Ten of the 50 authors introduced the innovative practice highlighted in their chapter,  after which we held an open discussion of entrepreneurship education through the lens of interdisciplinary, comparative and global collaboration.

Beyond Webinars and WhatsApp: How Members are Maximizing their Collaborative Membership

The Babson Collaborative is driven by a shared belief that institutions acting together achieve more toward their entrepreneurial mission and goals than each working alone. While the Collaborative shares structured content and communications platforms, the true power of the Collaborative lies in establishing and utilizing connections with like-minded peers and institutions. In this session, current members highlighted how they have leveraged the Collaborative’s global network and platforms to: expand global research on critical topics; create opportunities for students to develop a more global and entrepreneurial mindset; and expand their university ecosystem through exchange of expertise and global perspectives.
