At any university, an Entrepreneurs in Residence program provides a unique opportunity for students to learn from and engage directly with local business entrepreneurs. EiR programs are a vital part of entrepreneurship education as they support teaching, encourage creation and sharing of best practices, and promote more opportunities for research. This learning community works to amplify the benefits of EiR programs by expanding international peer to peer sharing, enhancing the effectiveness, and improving the impact of EiR programs. Through this learning community, schools with existing EiR programs work together to publish monthly articles and create exchange knowledge, resources and opportunities within the network.

The EiR learning community supports schools at the beginning of their EiR journey. In partnership with GBSN, LUMS will be offering two different tracks to schools looking to begin or accelerate their EiR program. Detailed below, these two opportunities, along with support from other EiR programs will enable schools to get their EiR programs up and running to begin contributing to the larger sub-network of EiR programs. Being part of this learning community will provide them access to mentorship, resources, and best practices to help grow and maintain their EiR Program.

The GBSN for EiR Circle  

Circles are private forums for groups, like the GBSN for EiR Learning Community, to share, discuss and exchange knowledge, opportunities and research.
