Dragons FutureLab

Dragons FutureLab

These pilot workstreams sit under the umbrella of Dragons FutureLab, an I-BEE initiative. The name extends Westminster’s Dragons identity – traditionally associated with University sports – into business education innovation, supporting the Vice-Chancellor’s ambition to broaden the Dragons brand across the institution. The Dragons’ Den association signals enterprise, family business, and turning ideas into reality, while “FutureLab” captures the experimental nature of the work: co-creating future teaching resources and engaging future students.

Beyond I-BEE’s core commitments, Dragons FutureLab contributes to multiple strategic priorities across WBS and the University: Student Voice and Partnership, Authentic Education, the Access and Participation Plan, Social Mobility, PRME and SDG integration, Knowledge Exchange and Impact, the London Environment focus, Employability and Enterprise, Tier 1 Authentic Learning targets, and AACSB preparation. By weaving together these strategic threads, Dragons FutureLab demonstrates how a single initiative can deliver against multiple institutional priorities – embodying the collaborative, cross-School ethos that I-BEE represents.

This initiative supports internationalisation at home — embedding structured international collaboration within modules so that all students, regardless of ability to travel, can benefit from meaningful global learning experiences.

Expressions of Interest (EoI)

Three teams will be selected to implement their plans in 2026/27 academic year.

Each team will receive:

• £750 funding to support development and delivery
