About Us

CEEN is the Irish national network for promoting and developing entrepreneurship and enterprise, at third level. CEEN aims to create a sustainable national platform for raising the profile, extending engagement and further developing entrepreneurship across the Irish HEI sector. It will do this by:

1. Providing a vehicle for a national dialogue between academia, industry and voluntary and public sectors on the development of entrepreneurship education;

2. Promoting excellence in the field by stimulating research, developing new pedagogy, evaluating and disseminating best practice and creating an evidence base around ‘what works’;

3. Establishing a national communications network to facilitate networking and collaboration within and between HEIs for academic and non-academic staff and the student body;

4. Demonstrating the economic business case for continuous investment and will support the development of new programmes and initiatives to promote entrepreneurship education across the wider HEI sector.
