Entrepreneurship / Enterprise Development - research node
The aim of the Entrepreneurship / Enterprise Development node is to create a centre of excellence focused on applied research within the fields of enterprise development and entrepreneurship. Both public and private enterprises are of interest and there is a particular emphasis on effective dissemination of findings to academic and practitioner communities.
