Brett Centre for Entrepreneurship
Inspiring excellence in entrepreneurship and enterprise.
The Brett Centre for Entrepreneurship is a connected hub of excellence for people and organisations interested in entrepreneurship research, theory, policy and practice.
The Centre, led by Professor Robert Blackburn, is one of six Research Centres based at the University of Liverpool Management School, with a mission to develop and harness the power of entrepreneurship.
We engage with academics, policymakers, and practitioners both locally and worldwide to ensure that our agendas are compelling and relevant and that the methods we use are cutting-edge and robust. This reflects our passion to understand and foster entrepreneurship and to help develop an entrepreneurial culture across the Liverpool City Region and beyond.
Whilst there is an emphasis on entrepreneurship research, the Centre also focuses on two other areas of activities - education and impact. Collectively these three pillars are mutually supporting to provide a solid foundation to help achieve our mission.
The Brett Centre for Entrepreneurship encourages academics, PhD students and practitioners to contact the Centre regarding membership availability. Please contact the Centre leads (bcfe@liverpool.ac.uk) for more information.
