Enterprise Tuesday is a series of FREE evening lectures and networking sessions managed by the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL) which runs during the Michaelmas and Lent terms. The aim is to inspire people to pursue entrepreneurial ambitions and build basic business skills.

CfEL’s Enterprise Tuesday is a major focus on entrepreneurship for the University demonstrating the application of learning to solve problems and create businesses. It is also coordinated with the Cambridge University Entrepreneurs (CUE) business creation competitions.
