Large and small institutions of higher education around the world
The Babson Collaborative for Entrepreneurship Education
The Babson Collaborative for Entrepreneurship Education is a global institutional membership organization connecting universities around the world that are building and expanding their entrepreneurship ecosystems. The Babson Collaborative is a one-of-a-kind offering from The Babson Academy, the global provider of entrepreneurship education development for institutions and educators of all kinds. Membership provides access to pedagogical best practices, expertise, and thought leadership from Babson College, and a network of like-minded global peers from other member institutions. Collaborative members share the belief that institutions acting together achieve more toward their entrepreneurial mission and goals than each working alone. There's no better place to master the power of entrepreneurship education than through The Babson Collaborative.
Who Are The Collaborative Members?
Institutions with entrepreneurship majors, minors, and/or cocurricular entrepreneurship offerings
Business schools, engineering schools, liberal arts schools, and community colleges
Collaborative membership includes access for as many educators as the institution wishes. Each member school designates one person as its institutional champion. The Collaborative champion is the individual who has a passion for entrepreneurship, understands and is accountable for successful development and implementation of their institution's mission in entrepreneurship education and is fluent in English. Collaborative institution champions will be able to secure funding for participation, encourage engagement among their faculty, share news and updates, and work closely with the Collaborative leadership team.
