What is HEInnovate

HEInnovate is a self-reflection tool for higher education institutions (HEIs) who wish to explore their innovative potential. It identifies areas of strength and weakness, opens up discussion on the entrepreneurial/innovative nature of HEIs and allows them to compare and contrast evolution over time. It guides them through a process of identification, prioritisation and action planning based on 8 key dimensions. The tool is open to all HEIs, it is free and can be used for individual or group self-assessments.
