Entrepreneurial and Engaged University Canvas.

Tool description

The Entrepreneurial and Engaged University Canvas is a visualisation tool that provides a holistic overview of the key aspects of an entrepreneurial / engaged university. The Canvas is organised in 5 hives which represent the 5 dimensions of the ACEEU Entrepreneurial / Engaged University accreditation. Each dimension consists of 3 standards which guide discussions and analysis of the entrepreneurship / engagement profile of a university.

How to use it?

Optimally, the Entrepreneurial / Engaged University Cards are used in combination with the Entrepreneurial / Engaged University Canvas.

Set your objective (e.g. current state of own university, future state of own university, competitor analysis, best practice analysis)
Print the canvas (optimally in DIN A0 or A1)
Plot the canvas on a wall
Use the Entrepreneurial / Engaged University Cards to discuss each standard (order can be adapted to the specific situation)
Use Post It notes and markers to document the discussion results
After filling in the entire Canvas, discuss it as a whole to check for completeness and consistency
End result: Visualisation of the entrepreneurship / engagement profile of the university under subject
