That the Parliament congratulates the University of Dundee’s Centre for Entrepreneurship on securing the Entrepreneurship Catalyst award at the 2025 UK National Enterprise Educators Awards; understands that the university received the award in recognition for delivering exceptional entrepreneurship education to students and staff outside of the curriculum; notes that the award was hotly contested with the university surpassing the Anglia Ruskin Enterprise Academy by Anglia Ruskin University, and Strathclyde Inspire by the University of Strathclyde; believes that the University of Dundee continues to showcase its educational rigour, solidifying the institution’s reputation as a national hub for entrepreneurship; notes that this award completes a hat-trick of entrepreneurial awards for the university, after it was named Innovative and Entrepreneurial University of the Year at the European Triple E Awards and Outstanding Entrepreneurial University of the Year at the Times Higher Education Awards, all within a year; acknowledges that the Centre for Entrepreneurship hosts an annual venture competition on campus with an externally sponsored prize fund of £65,000, which is backing the next generation of entrepreneurs and turning concept into creation, and wishes the team at the Centre for Entrepreneurship continued success for the future.
