2024 Stakeholders Forum Attracts More Than 400 Participants
2023 marked the year of ACEEU’s largest event so far! Partnering with the Triple Helix Association, the ACEEU Forum brought together more than 400 university leaders, academics and professionals in Barcelona, Spain, to discuss the latest developments, best practices, and the future of entrepreneurship and engagement in higher education. During the Triple E Awards Ceremony, the event also acknowledged 150 of the world’s front-runners in the field, covering exceptional institutions, individuals and initiatives. This great success is leading to a very promising 2024 with the Americas Edition in Sao Paulo and the European-African Edition in Lisbon. Stay tuned for more updates!
As we approach the end of 2023, it's a perfect time to reflect on the incredible work that the ACEEU Accreditation Unit and different higher education institutions have done together to continue promoting engagement and entrepreneurship in higher education. This year, ACEEU has expanded its community by awarding the ACEEU Engaged University Accreditation to four prestigious institutions: University Magdalena in Colombia, Gdańsk University of Technology and Poznan University of Medical Sciences in Poland, and Business Institute of Denmark in Denmark.
These achievements highlight our collective efforts and the exceptional commitment of these institutions towards societal engagement. Their accomplishments are a source of inspiration and a standard for excellence in higher education.
Looking forward to 2024, ACEEU is excited about new members joining us on this fulfilling journey. We encourage institutions that are ready for new challenges and striving for excellence in engagement and entrepreneurship to consider joining our accreditation process in the upcoming year.
