You still have time to contribute to Ideation in Entrepreneurship Education: Process, Practice, and Mindset, a new book written and edited by Collaborative members and published by Edward Elgar Publishing.

The Babson Collaborative Global Summit is taking place in-person in Chile in March. This year, you will be able to view select sessions via live-stream. A detailed agenda and links will be added to the Member Portal soon. Mark your calendars for March 13-15.

Recently, the Collaborative convened international affairs leaders from member member institutions for a forum led by Amir Reza, Dean of the Babson Academy. Attendees explored parallels between entrepreneurship and international education and identified opportunities to utilize the our network to advance shared goals. One outcome was the creation of a Member Interest Group (MIG) for international affairs leaders which will be led by Antonio Giangreco (IÉSEG, France) and Marcelo Leporati (EAE, Spain)
