Support Students
CES bookings contribute to activities supporting student innovation and entrepreneurship
Did you know that booking a conference or event with Conference & Event Services gives back to ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University students?
When the Battery Hotel was purchased and converted into Signal Hill Campus’ first building (Emera Innovation Exchange - EIX), a $7 million contribution from Emera Inc. was received and a unique funding model was created.
Both the contribution and funding model provides an opportunity for ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University to allocate a portion of the revenues from conference services to support programs and activities associated with student entrepreneurship and innovation.
A total of $400K is dispersed annually to a variety of groups throughout the University. Recipients and dollar allocations are determined by ÐÓ°É´«Ã½â€™s Innovation Steering Committee. Previous recipients include the Centre for Social Enterprise, Genesis, Grenfell Research and Innovation Centre Project and ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Centre for Entrepreneurship.
Contact the team at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½â€™s Conference and Event Services by emailing meet@mun.ca to book space and help support our future innovators and entrepreneurs!
