The European Action Group for Entrepreneurship Education was formed following the World Economic Forum Roundtable in May 2010 on the occasion of the Forum’s Europe Summit in Brussels.

The group is pursuing actions outlined in the manifesto from the roundtable, which in turn builds upon recommendations in the 2009 World Economic Forum Report Educating the Next Wave of Entrepreneurs

The EAG membership includes academics, policy makers, business leaders and NGOS committed to entrepreneurship education. The EAG is currently led by Chair: Jan Muehlfeit, Chairman of

Microsoft Europe and Vice Chair: Julie Mercer, Associate Partner of Deloitte Consulting.

Kimberly Voltero, Microsoft, and Karen Wilson, GV Partners, have been the facilitators.

1) Outreach (Chair: Jan Muehlfeit)Building an outreach plan to get the messages from the Manifesto out to policy makers and other key stakeholders. This will include further shaping the key messages and possible communication channels as well as identifying key events taking place in Europe as well as arranging high level meetings with policy makers.

 2) Good Practices (Co-Chairs: Anthony Gribben and Julie Mercer)

Creating an online space to collect good practices in entrepreneurship education from across Europe. This working group will need to set up a system for collecting, reviewing and posting these good practice case studies. The completed good practices will be posted on the EAG blog.

 

3) Indicators for Entrepreneurship Education (Chair: Anders Hoffman)Working with other organizations already wrestling with the issue of indicators for entrepreneurship education to help make progress, on a global not just a regional level. This working group should link to similar groups in other regions following the WEF roundtables in MENA and LATAM.

An common definition of entrepreneurship education is needed to define the set of relevant indicators.

Frameworks can be developed for a national/regional level and for a institutional level.

An initial framework has been developed for the national level to compare broad statistics across countries. Built on the OECD framework for measurement:

Input => Output => Outcome => Impact

More work will be done for the institutional level as well as the “within country” level – linked to policy specific goals.
