Enterprise Engagement and Experiential Learning Group

The E3L research group focuses on the area of engagement interactions between higher education institutions and external organizations, with a particular focus on experiential learning.  The main interest of the research is the exploration of practice and policy in higher education to explore, support, grow and connect the full range of engagement interactions between higher education and enterprise and community groups.  The group has a considerable and growing record in contributions to policy and practice and a range of publications over many years including journal articles, conference papers and reports.
