HEI Consortium INnoVation and ENTrepreneurship in HEIs (INVENTHEI)

英国谢菲尔德大学作为合作伙伴参与了INVENTHEI项目，该项目由欧洲理工学院（EIT）高等教育机构（HEI）倡议共同资助，是欧洲地平线计划的一部分。该计划的目标是，到2025年，参与计划的高等教育院校将培训一批受过高等教育的企业家和创新者，从而促进充满活力的创新区的出现，并有利于建立知识密集型公司，提供尖端技术、增值产品和服务，以及创新的商业模式。创新区也增强了为学生提供新想法、新技能和创业人才的能力。学生是新一代的专业人士，但他们也可以接受培训和鼓励，成为创新者和企业家，为不断创造就业机会和经济增长做出贡献。INVENTHEI以现有实践和基础设施为基础，加强区域创新生态系统，促进创新驱动型研究。目标之一是建立一个由高等教育驱动的欧洲创新区网络。该联盟将在现有经验的基础上，探索与研究和创新活动的协同作用，以培育和促进参与大学的创新和创业文化。这与谢菲尔德大学和我们的地区高度相关，先进制造研究中心（AMRC）作为我们区域创新区的关键要素参与了这个项目。临床牙科学院也加入了他们的行列，他们在卫生技术制造方面带来了额外的专业知识，以及工作人员（学术和研究）和学生（本科生和研究生）。在这方面，INVENTHEI项目有助于进一步发展更广泛的创新生态系统，这将促进区域经济的增长，特别是在这里的“医疗科技”领域。INVENTHEI将围绕与EIT支柱相关的三个维度实施创新愿景行动计划（IVAP）：•学习和指导计划，重点是培训、指导和吸引学生和员工（教育支柱）；•学习和教学结构，重点是提供测试平台和创新驱动研究（创新支柱）；•学习与合作，侧重于工业、研究和学术界之间的合作与交流（商业支柱）。INVENTHEI分为三个“构建-测量-学习”工作包：设计创新愿景、最小可行创新愿景和扩展创新愿景。

Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Higher Education Institutions (INVENTHEI)The University of Sheffield is participating as a partner in INVENTHEI, a project co-funded by the European Institute of Technology (EIT) Higher Education Institution (HEI) initiative as part of Horizon Europe. This project envisions that by 2025, a critical mass of highly educated entrepreneurs and innovators will be trained by the participating HEIs, contributing to the emergence of dynamic innovation districts and favouring the establishment of knowledge-intensive companies providing cutting edge technologies, added-value products and services, and innovative business models. Innovation districts also have enhanced capacity to provide students with new ideas, skills and entrepreneurial talent. Students are the new generation of professionals, but they can also be trained and encouraged to become innovators and entrepreneurs, contributing to the ongoing creation of jobs and economic growth.INVENTHEI builds on existing practices and infrastructure to enhance regional innovation ecosystems and promote innovation-driven research. One of the objectives is to set up a HEI-driven European network of innovation districts. The consortium will build on existing experience and explore synergies with research and innovation activities to nurture and foster an innovation and entrepreneurial culture in the participating universities. This is highly relevant to Sheffield University and our region, where the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) is participating in this project as a key element in our regional Innovation District. They are joined by the School of Clinical Dentistry, who bring additional expertise in health technology manufacturing, as well as staff (academic and research) and students (undergraduate and postgraduate). In this respect, the INVENTHEI project contributes to the further development of a wider innovation ecosystem that will grow the regional economy, in particular here for the “healthtech” sector.INVENTHEI will implement an Innovation Vision Action Plan (IVAP) built around three dimensions connected to the EIT pillars:• Learning and mentoring programmes, focused on training, mentoring and engaging students and staff (education pillar);• Learning and teaching structures, focused on providing testbeds and innovation-driven research (innovation pillar);• Learning and collaboration, focused on programmes for collaboration and exchange between industry, research and academia (business pillar).INVENTHEI is organised in three ‘build-measure-learn’ work packages: designing the innovation vision, the minimum viable innovation vision, and scaling the innovation vision.
