Social Entrepreneurship Initiative
The people who dare to think they can change the world are the ones that do
The Centre for Nonprofit Management in Trinity’s Business School, in collaboration with Social Entrepreneurs Ireland, has embarked on an exciting new initiative designed to embed Social Entrepreneurship into the mainstream of business school teaching and research in Ireland.
Social entrepreneurship is set to become a key driver in building the new Ireland - creatively, socially and economically. Engagement by universities is an essential means of developing the concept and practice of social entrepreneurship, strengthening the pipeline of social entrepreneurs and increasing impact in society.
A new position in Social Entrepreneurship has been created in Trinity’s Business School. Dr Denise Crossan is leading the initiative which encompasses research, education and dialogue programmes.
Seed funding for the initiative has been provided by the Iris O’Brien Foundation and members of Trinity Foundation Board.
“We want more people involved in changing society and want their efforts to be valued and supported.”
Sean Coughlan, Director of Social Entrepreneurs Ireland
