Lodged by Michael Marra (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

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.
