Welcome to the Centre for Scientific Enterprise (CSEL).

CSEL is a joint venture between London Business School and UCL (University College London), established in 2000 to promote entrepreneurship within the fields of science and technology. The Centre funds a wide range of courses, seminars and student club activities at each university, as well as funding activities linking them to each other.

The strategic drive to deliver this is focused on bringing scientists and engineers from UCL together with students and faculty from London Business School, in order to develop the experience and expertise necessary to enhance:

UCL scientists' understanding of the nature of technology-based innovation and the best routes open to them to commercialise them
the School community's understanding of the opportunity and risks of technology-based innovation and how to manage them both efficiently and effectively
the new understanding and skills that each of the apparently separate groups can gain by working together.

One of 13 Science Enterprise Centres in the U.K., CSEL was cited as an example of best practice in the DTI Innovation
