Introduction to HEInnovate (Call 2025 Info Sessions)

Join us for “Introduction to HEInnovate”, an info session designed to help higher education institutions understand the purpose and use of the HEInnovate self-assessment tool. HEInnovate is a free online resource developed by the European Commission and the OECD to help institutions reflect on their innovation and entrepreneurship capacity across several key dimensions.

In this dedicated one-hour session, you will:

• Understand what HEInnovate is and specifically how it applies to your application.
• Learn how HEInnovate can help your institution:
  • Diagnose strengths and gaps relevant to the EIT HEI call.
  • Align stakeholders and prioritise actions for your project proposal.
• Walk through the step-by-step change process: self-reflection → engagement → action planning → implementation, all in the context of the EIT HEI Initiative.
• Hear from the authors of the EIT HEI–funded DISCO project, who will share their firsthand experience on how they successfully used HEInnovate to assess and strengthen innovation capacity across partner universities.
• Get your specific questions about HEInnovate and its role in your EIT HEI application answered by experts.

Whether you’re just discovering HEInnovate or looking to deepen your use of the tool for your EIT HEI proposal, this session offers practical, targeted insights to help drive your institutional transformation and enhance your funding application.
