About the training

HEInnovate will run the same training twice so that participants can attend either in person or online. Experienced HEInnovate facilitators will run the sessions and aim to provide information, tools and techniques so that participants can maximise the use of HEInnovate in practice.

By the end of the training session, participants will:

• understand the role HEInnovate can play in developing their institutions' innovative and entrepreneurial potential
• be confident to carry out their own HEInnovate assessments in group supported by group discussions and workshops
• be aware of the variety of supporting materials and initiatives available and understand how to make the most of them

The training sessions will also offer the possibility of international networking with like-minded people, who are interested in advancing their institution's innovative and entrepreneurial nature.
