The HEI Initiative: Innovation Capacity Building for Higher Education aims to reinforce the competitiveness of Europe by strengthening the innovation and entrepreneurial capacity of higher education institutions (HEIs) and empowering them to become key actors in innovation ecosystems.
A Pilot Call for Proposals was launched on 24 March and will close on 25 May 2021. We call for HEIs to create individualised action plans which take a long-term view toward innovation and entrepreneurial capacity. These action plans will be designed on the basis of an HEInnovate self-assessment for each HEI, in order to drive the choice of Actions proposed for funding and institutional change.
The EIT Community will select up to 23 pilot projects from this Pilot Call for Proposals. Pilot projects will have a duration of 24 months and be eligible to receive up to EUR 1.2 million per project.
