APPROACH & IMPACT

Anchors

HEIs as leading-edge anchors to innovation districts, clustering companies and connecting with start-ups and society, business incubators and accelerators. 

Pillars

IVAP built around 3 dimensions: Learning and Mentoring programmes (education pillar), Learning and Teaching structures (innovation pillar) and Learning and Collaboration (business pillar).

Strategy

Build on existing practices, knowledge and research facilities to guarantee a critical mass of highly educated young innovators and entrepreneurs and foster a European Network of innovation-driven research ecosystems. ​Methodology inspired by the “Lean start-up” will be used for the definition and implementation of the Innovation Vision Action Plan. 

INVENTHEI Action Approaches

  • (A1) Enhance the scale and scope of student engagement activities with research and business (domain 1), in the learning and mentoring pillar. 
  • (A2) Develop inter- and multi-disciplinary support structures, testbeds and other structures to foster innovation (domain 1), in the learning and teaching structures pillar. 
  •  (A3) Establish new collaborations and enhance the nature, content and types of collaborations with external partners, including businesses, research organisations, governmental bodies, NGOs and other societal partners (domain 2), in the learning and collaboration pillar. 
  •  (A4) Create structures and conditions for innovation-driven research (domain 3), in the learning and teaching structures pillar. 
  •  (A5) Develop innovation and entrepreneurial training programmes and mentoring schemes for staff and students (domain 4), in the learning and mentoring pillar.
