Dedicated to excellence


The Triple E Awards go global
Following the inaugural Awards in 2020 in the Asia-Pacific Region and the first "post-pandemic" awards in Europe in 2022, the Awards are now going where they were always supposed to go - GLOBAL!

The Triple E Awards are a global recognition of efforts towards the quest for entrepreneurship and engagement in higher education. It is the first award to focus specifically on different dimensions of the universities' third mission. The Triple E Awards aim to foster change in universities and to emphasize their role in their communities and ecosystems.

While the Awards are organised by 4 regions around the world (Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific), we will celebrate the finalists and winners all together in one unique event - this year in the amazing city of Barcelona, Spain.

Submission is open to all higher education institutions (including colleges) as well as related institutions (e.g. external TTO or incubator that is clearly related to a university). Awardees will be selected through a two-stage process: after the shortlisting of the top 5 entries in each category in each region, additional information need to be submitted which will serve as the basis for the final ranking of the entries and the selecting of the category winner.

ACEEU is happy to announce that it partners with the Triple Helix Association and LaSalle University to host the 2023 Global Triple E Awards. The agreement followed a visit of the ACEEU leadership to LaSalle in July 2022 and extensive talks about the implementation of the event.

"Barcelona and LaSalle University provide a unique place to host the first Global Edition of the Triple E Awards. Together we will bring more than 400 people to the event, making it the place to be for entrepreneurship and engagement in 2023" says Professor Thorsten Kliewe, Chair of ACEEU.

Triple E Awards go global!

  • 14 Aug 2022

Following the re-birth of the Triple E Awards after the Covid-19 break with the successful hosting of the 2022 European Awards in Florence, Italy, the decision was made that 2023 will be the year to host the Awards on a global scale for the first time.

While universities will still compete with other institutions in their region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific), all Awards will be handed over at a joint event in Barcelona, Spain. In other words, leaders in entrepreneurship and engagement in higher education from around the global will unite in one place and create a breeding ground to discuss and shape the future of higher education.
