Bursaries to support China/UK Entrepreneurship Educators Network

The aim of the bursaries is to take entrepreneurship educators to setup
the China/UK Entrepreneurship Educators Network - the WUN conference is
the venue

The National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship (NCGE) is delighted
to announce the availability of ten bursaries (each worth 500 UK pounds)
to support entrepreneurship educators, working in UK universities, to
set up the China/UK Entrepreneurship Educators Network by attending the
WUN Hangzhou China Enterprise Conference -
http://www.wunchina.org/index.html.

Globalisation: Integrating Innovation and Entrepreneurship is the third
in a series of Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) conferences focusing
on enterprise, held in Chicago, Leeds, and Hangzhou during 2007 and
2008. The conference aims to explore the collaboration and cooperation
of international institutions in integrating global innovation resources
to build new models and approaches to enterprise education.  The
conference themes include:

*         Global innovations and entrepreneurship: Opportunities for
entrepreneurship expansion in China; Economic entrepreneurship in
Zhejiang Province: regional models and experiences; Governmental
policies and support for enterprise; and the transformative impact of
entrepreneurship on the global economy.

*         Social entrepreneurship: the application of organisations and
non-profit enterprises as change agents for the resolution of social
problems and economic growth; and integration of social entrepreneurship
into higher education.

*         Innovation and internationalisation of enterprise education:
integration of research, learning & teaching and enterprise innovation
across nations; international exchanges and the training of new
entrepreneurs; and opportunities for interdisciplinary and institutional
collaboration in entrepreneurship.

The conference will take place during 14-16 May 2008 in the city of
Hangzhou (180 km southwest of Shanghai). Hangzhou is located in the
Yangtze River Delta in the People's Republic of China, and is the
capital of Zhejiang province.  The Conference website can be found at
http://www.wunchina.org/index.html and delegates are advised to apply
for the appropriate travel visas as soon as possible (see
http://www.wunchina.org/visa.html).   

Please provide your name, job title, institutional affiliation, together
with a statement of how you anticipate that you and your institution
will benefit from your attendance (max 750 words).  Please note that
bursary recipients are required to submit a brief report within a month
of the Conference.   Submissions should be sent to
