HEInnovate is an initiative of the European Commission′s DG Education and Culture in partnership with the OECD.

Today, more than ever in their history, HEIs are being judged on how they respond to the social and economic needs of society. As well as education and research, there are many other issues to address. There is no “unique” approach, but a variety of ways in which HEIs can act entrepreneurially. HEInnovate is a self-assessment tool for higher education institutions (HEIs) wishing to explore their entrepreneurial and innovative potential.
